Headers are the unsung heroes of the web. They handle redirects, compression, even which version of a file to send (looking at you, `Accept-Encoding`).
For performance, good headers can shave seconds off load times. Bad ones? They add pointless round trips.
Try the `Header Editor` extension to fiddle with them live. Or just copy what fast sites use (check with `curl -I`).

Wow, didn’t realize http headers do so much! The caching stuff makes total sense—I’ve def seen my site reload things it shouldn’t.
Gonna try Chrome DevTools and SecurityHeaders.com first.
Quick follow-up: anyone know if there’s a "cheat sheet" for the most important headers? Like a top 5 list for noobs? Thanks again!
