624		~~## Security Considerations~~
625
626		### 1. IP Address Spoofing
627		- Validates IPs against private ranges
628		- Filters proxy-provided IPs appropriately
629		- Configurable reverse proxy trust
630
631		### 2. Session Security
632		- Binds sessions to IP address
633		- Binds sessions to TLS status
634		- Supports both file and database storage
635		- HttpOnly cookies by default
636
637		### 3. TLS Enforcement
638		- Automatic HTTPS upgrade when configured
639		- Marks TLS sessions to prevent downgrade attacks
640		- HSTS header support
641
642		### 4. Content Security
643		- CSP headers to prevent XSS
644		- X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking
645		- X-Content-Type-Options to prevent MIME sniffing
646		- Referrer-Policy control
647		- Permissions-Policy for browser features
648
649		### 5. File Serving
650		- Validates file existence and readability
651		~~- Prevents directory traversal via `realpath()`~~
652		- Rejects symbolic links
653		- Special CSP for SVG and PDF files
654
655		### 6. Cache Security
656		- Cached only for anonymous users
657		- Disabled for sensitive operations (edit, watch)
658		- Only GET requests cached
659
660		---
661
662		~~## Performance Optimization~~
663
664		### 1. Page Caching
665		- Stores full HTML output
666		- TTL-based expiration
667		- Language and method-aware caching
668		- Conditional request support (304 Not Modified)
669
670		### 2. MIME Type Caching
671		- Loads MIME types once and caches
672		- Regenerates only when config changes
673
674		### 3. Session Options
675		- File-based sessions for simple deployments
676		- Database sessions for distributed systems
677
678		### 4. Compression
679		- Manual gzip implementation
680		- Proper Content-Length generation
681		- Only compresses appropriate sizes
