This post is divided into several sections each covering a different security threat and how to properly defend your site against it.

Practical PHP/Twig implementation for HTTP/2 Server Push

HTTP/2 offers many advantages over legacy protocols like HTTP/1.1. One of those features is Server Push, a way to push assets to the client before the server supplies the requested HTML document.
