Headers
Custom headers can be added to enable using WebMap from a client in a different domain- this is mainly used for heightened security.
See here for examples of custom headers.
Rate Limiter
On Public Maps, user traffic and requests can trigger a web page crash. On rare occasions, heavy usage may even originate from malicious sources resulting in a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. This can shut down a machine or network, making it inaccessible to users.
To regulate traffic and prevent attacks, enable Rate Limiter options.

Maximum queue rate per time window | The maximum number of queued requests allowed within the specified period or time window. |
