Important security headers for Fastify

Why?

You may know fastify-helmet as a helmet plugin for fastify. So why i made this plugin?

This plugin uses a set of helmet plugins for fastify instead of the helmet middlewares. You may find the reason in benchmark result and wish you like it. :)

Plugins

fastify-fast-helmet is a collection of 12 smaller middleware functions that set HTTP headers.

Module	Description	Default?
fastify-csp	for setting Content Security Policy
fastify-expect-ct	for handling Certificate Transparency
fastify-dns-prefetch-control	controls browser DNS prefetching	✓
fastify-frame-guard	to prevent clickjacking	✓
fastify-hide-powered-by	to remove the X-Powered-By header	✓
fastify-hpkp	for HTTP Public Key Pinning
fastify-hsts	for HTTP Strict Transport Security	✓

fastify-no-cache	to disable client-side caching
fastify-no-sniff	to keep clients from sniffing the MIME type	✓
