UTF-8 (8-bit UCS/Unicode Transformation Format) is a variable-length character encoding for Unicode. It is the preferred encoding for web pages.

The DOCTYPE is a required preamble for HTML5 websites.
HTML 5 Specific Tags
This page contains tags that are specific to an HTML 5 implementation.
X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is a HTTP header set by Internet Explorer 8+. This header lets domains toggle on and off the "XSS Filter" of IE8, which prevents some categories of XSS attacks.
Content Type Options
Used to disable MIME-sniffing for a particular HTTP response.
Strict Transport Security
The HTTP Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header instructs the browser to only use https.
SSL Certificates
HSTS
