Fork: nonce tag
This section goes over the importance of your 'nonce' tag.
The nonce tag is a tag used for the HTML's id'ing system that's implemented on OpenSource uTube.
This is a feature that YouTube also uses, but YouTube gives it a unique value per user per IP. This way, everyone can watch something different, at the same time, or a different time. This system makes sure that no two people can possibly have the same nonce value, therefore, cannot be doing the exact same unintentionally.
Your nonce tag should be a variable like YouTube's, not a static like ours. This helps your site manage traffic and many other things; in other words, it's extremely convenient to have it set up as a variable that's different for everyone.
The nonce is typically a value of 22 digits, set up as follows:
- 16 letters
- 1 symbol
- 3 letters
- 1 number & one letter
The value of nonce is irrelevant, as long as it's the same for every nonce tag on the entire site.
