Description

https://hstspreload.org/ is using HTTPS, but is not using the full protection of HSTS preloading:

If the subdomains are not used for any private infrastructure I would recommend using the following header:

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload

The site seems to be hosted with GitHub Pages. If you'd like to set this header there's no UI for it in GitHub (yet), but I believe @yoannchaudet should be able to enable it.

Research direction

Start with the GitHub Pages hosting configuration for nushell.sh and review the requirements at hstspreload.org and the linked HSTS references. Confirm whether the subdomains are used for private infrastructure, then determine how to enable the requested Strict-Transport-Security header; done means the site is eligible for HSTS preloading.
