HTTP Headers for Static Sites

Since static sites don’t have a server-side component that can inject custom HTTP headers in responses, Render lets you define response headers for your static sites in your dashboard.

Header Syntax

The header path must be a relative path without the domain. It will be matched with all custom domains attached to your site.

You can use wildcards to match arbitrary request paths.

Path	Effect
/*	Matches all request paths.
*.html	Matches /index.html but not /blog/index.html
/blog/*	Matches /blog, /blog/latest-post/ and all other paths under /blog/
/blog/*.html	Matches /blog/index.html, all other HTML files under /blog/
**/*.html	Matches /index.html and /blog/index.html

The name is the case-insensitive name for the header. Examples include:

• Cache-Control
• X-Frame-Options
• Referrer-Policy

The value of the header is sent as-is in the response. Examples include:

• public, max-age=86400
• DENY
• same-origin

The header key is normalized and the value is appended to it to form the response:

• cache-control: public, max-age=86400
• x-frame-options: DENY
• referrer-policy: same-origin
