1
TLS

A cryptographic protocol that provides end-to-end encryption of data transmitted over the Internet, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authentication between communicating systems.

2
HTTP 2+

An application-layer protocol used to transfer resources such as HTML documents, images, and other web content, forming the foundation of data communication in web browsers.

3
Meta Robots

Robots directives are instructions delivered through the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header that control how search engines and web crawlers index, cache, and process web content.

4
Cookies

Small pieces of data that a website stores in a visitor's web browser to preserve information between page requests and browsing sessions.

5
HSTS

A web security mechanism that ensures a user's browser always connects to a website using HTTPS, preventing insecure HTTP access.

6
♯ ETag

An identifier for a specific version of a resource that is used for cache validation.

7
QUIC

A transport layer network protocol built on UDP that provides encrypted, low-latency data transfer, underpins HTTP 2+, and was originally developed by Google.

8
Atom

An XML-based web feed format used to syndicate content such as articles and updates, similar to RSS but defined as an IETF standard.

9
OAuth

An open standard authorization protocol that allows applications to obtain limited access to user accounts without sharing passwords across web, mobile, and desktop environments.

10
WebSocket

A communication protocol that enables persistent, full-duplex data exchange between a client and a server over a single TCP connection.

11
JSON Web Token

An open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.

12
🛠️ Deflate

A lossless data compression algorithm that combines the LZ77 sliding window technique with Huffman coding to reduce data size efficiently.

13
FTP

A standard network protocol for transferring files between a server and a client.
