Practical Security Guides For Your Team

Your website can be visited over plain HTTP (unencrypted), and it doesn't automatically send visitors to the secure HTTPS version. Any user who lands on an HTTP link — from an old email, a bookmark, or a mistyped URL — will have their connection left unprotected. Think of it like a shop that has a secure back entrance but leaves the front door unlocked with no sign pointing visitors to the right way in.

Your server is sending two contradictory security instructions at the same time — one that says 'anyone on the internet can read our responses' and another that says 'include the user's private login credentials.' Browsers are smart enough to refuse this combination, so no one is being harmed right now. But this configuration signals a deeper misunderstanding of how cross-site access controls work, and a developer trying to 'fix' it the wrong way could accidentally create a real vulnerability.
