Fix repeated or insecure fields in security.txt on Cloudflare
Why it matters
Expires and Preferred-Languages may appear only once, and links to your policy, encryption key or acknowledgements page must use https. A file that breaks these rules can be rejected or misread by tools.
The fix
- If the file is managed in Cloudflare, open Security, Settings, Web application exploits, Security.txt, Configurations and correct the fields; Cloudflare asks for the preferred languages as one list.
- Use https:// for every link, then Save.
