HTTP Security Header

Popis

HTTP Security Header helps protect your WordPress site by adding critical HTTP headers to each response — with no code required. These headers provide additional layers of protection against attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, content injection, and resource leaks.

This plugin offers a modern, responsive admin dashboard with validation, fallback safety, and full control over each header’s default or custom value.

Features Include:
– Visual toggles for enabling/disabling headers
– Option to use default or custom header values
– Secure fallback if a header is misconfigured
– Integrated header validation
– Support for all major browser-supported headers
– Nonce-based saving and admin notices
– WP Multisite compatible
– „Disable All“ and „Reset to Important Headers“ actions
– Per-header input validation with real-time error fallback

Supported Headers:
* Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)
* X-Frame-Options
* X-Content-Type-Options
* Referrer-Policy
* Content-Security-Policy
* Permissions-Policy
* X-XSS-Protection
* X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies
* Expect-CT
* Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy (COOP)
* Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy (CORP)
* Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy (COEP)

Časté otázky

Does this modify the .htaccess file?

No, this plugin applies headers dynamically using send_headers — making it cache-safe, portable, and compatible with all environments.

Is this plugin multisite compatible?

Yes, you can configure headers per site on a WordPress Multisite network.

What happens if a custom value is invalid?

The plugin uses fallback logic to prevent breaking the site by reverting to a known safe default. An admin notice will also show up when this happens.

How do I reset the headers?

Click the “Reset to Defaults” option in the admin panel to revert all settings to secure recommended defaults.

Can I disable all headers at once?

Yes. The “Disable All” button in the admin interface allows you to turn off all headers in a single action.

Will this block any scripts or resources?

Some headers like Content-Security-Policy or COEP can affect script loading. You should test after enabling them, especially with third-party scripts or iframe embeds.

Does this support headers like `COOP`, `CORP`, or `COEP`?

Yes, the plugin supports advanced cross-origin headers like COOP, CORP, and COEP.
