Description
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
When searching for "csp nonce" the first results are not CSP related but do include the word "nonce".
The CSP article only comes in fourth place.
What did you expect to see?
What I really wanted was a direct link to <h4 id="nonces">Nonces</h4> in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CSP#controlling_resource_loading but I would be happy with a link to the article at the top.
