Content Security and Delivery for High Traffic Sites
Content Security and Delivery for High Traffic Sites High traffic sites face two big challenges: security and fast delivery. A well implemented Content Security Policy (CSP) reduces risks from cross-site scripting and data leaks, while a strong delivery setup keeps pages responsive under load. The goal is to make the policy strict by default and only relax it where necessary, then monitor for any blocked resources. Start with a clear CSP. Use nonce or hash based scripts, limit sources, and report violations to a central service. Example: Content-Security-Policy: default-src ‘self’; script-src ‘self’ https://cdn.example.com; style-src ‘self’ https://fonts.googleapis.com; img-src ‘self’ data:; connect-src ‘self’; font-src ‘self’ https://fonts.gstatic.com; report-uri https://your-report-endpoint/csp. This is a guideline; adjust to your domains and use a reporting endpoint to learn which sources are blocked. ...
