New Early Hints behavior supported for use with ​Akamai​'s Ion and Dynamic Site Accelerator products. With Early Hints, you can send an HTTP 103 status code with preliminary HTTP headers at the client request stage, so that a browser can preload critical website resources or preconnect to a specific domain while waiting for the final HTML response. You can configure this behavior in Property Manager or use EdgeWorkers to dynamically calculate the most optimal resources to send as Early Hints at the edge.

The FIPS mode - origin behavior ensures Federal Information Process Standards (FIPS) 140-2 compliance for a connection to an origin server.

Client Hints is an effort by Google to replace the legacy User-Agent HTTP header. Use the new Request Client Hints behavior to request specific client hints data for the host, and Permissions Policy behavior to delegate access to the same data to documents that are accessible to the host.
