TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Security Headers is for WordPress site owners and administrators who want to manage browser security headers without editing server config. It provides a settings page to configure, test, and diagnose headers like HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options directly from WordPress.

  • Admin settings page
  • HSTS controls with preload warning
  • Referrer-Policy settings
  • X-Frame-Options settings
  • Permissions-Policy custom value field
  • Content-Security-Policy builder
  • Diagnostics screen for headers
  • Import, export, and reset tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Security Headers

No. CSP is disabled by default because a strict policy can break scripts, styles, embeds, or third-party integrations if it is not configured carefully.
Yes. Report-Only mode is the safest way to start testing CSP because it reports problems without blocking resources.
No. HSTS should only be enabled when your site is fully available over HTTPS.
