# HTTP Strict Transport (HSTS) Protection

The **HSTS Protection** feature for Dynamic Content Acceleration operates the same way as in Static Content Delivery.\
It adds the `Strict-Transport-Security` header to HTTPS responses, instructing browsers to use HTTPS exclusively for a defined period. You can configure max-age, subdomain enforcement, and optional preload parameters to strengthen browser-side security for dynamic applications. This feature does not alter caching behavior, redirect rules, or origin routing.

For configuration details, header parameters, and examples, refer to the main documentation:\
