Featured Code Examples
Content Security Policy
A Content Security Policy (CSP) is a security feature implemented in web browsers to protect websites and web applications from attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection. CSP controls and limits the source of various types of content loaded and executed on a web page, including scripts, stylesheets, and images. EdgeWorkers provides numerous performance benefits for CSPs, which need to complement the security measures on the application server-side.
Product URL Redirects
Note the URL path changing from /sku/483D5F/reviews to products/straight-fit-denim-jeans/reviews
This example uses EdgeWorkers + EdgeKV to extract a query string product SKU from an incoming URL, match it against a SKU stored in a KV database, and properly redirect the browser to the new product page.
