  "summary": "The article highlights the importance of implementing security headers on websites in 2026 to protect against various web vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and data leaks. The six essential security headers recommended for production websites are Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. These headers act as a defense layer within the client browser, reducing the attack surface without altering application code. Missing security headers can expose users to common web vulnerabilities, and despite their importance, 84% of the 97 sites audited on Sitecheckly in the last 90 days were found to be missing these headers.",
