HSTS
Abbreviation for HTTP Strict Transport Security
In short and in plain language
HSTS is a setting on the server of a website.
With it, the site tells the browser a rule. From now on, it should open the site only in encrypted form.
This makes it harder for others to catch or divert the connection.
So what you type in a form gets more protection. This is true for contact and job forms.
Definition
HSTS is a web server setting that tells the browser to open the website only over an encrypted connection from then on. This makes intercepting or redirecting connections harder. It thus adds protection for entries in contact and application forms, for example.
