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
