HTTP Security Header

View on WordPress

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.

Before configuring headers, instantly check your website’s current security score using our online header scanner:
