HeaderGenie Security Headers
v1.2.59 · by headergenie
Add HTTP security headers from WordPress. Scan what your site sends and enable safe defaults.
About this plugin
HeaderGenie Security Headers sends HTTP security headers from PHP, so they work on Apache, Nginx, and hosts that ignore .htaccess.
You can:
- Scan the public site and see which security headers are present, weak, or missing
- Enable headers such as
X-Content-Type-Options,X-Frame-Options,Referrer-Policy, DNS prefetch control, HSTS on HTTPS, Permissions-Policy, COOP, COEP, and CORP - Configure a Content-Security-Policy yourself (report-only or enforce). Hosts are not added automatically
- Manage those settings from HeaderGenie in wp-admin
The scanner and headers work with no account and do not contact HeaderGenie servers.
A separate HeaderGenie Pro plugin, sold at headergenie.com, adds CSP auto-add from scans and browser reports, Subresource Integrity, Compatibility checks, and cloud monitoring. That plugin is not included here and is not required.
This plugin does not guarantee legal or compliance outcomes. It helps you set and review security headers.
Privacy
This plugin does not contact HeaderGenie servers and does not require an account. A scan requests your own public site URL from the WordPress server so it can read response headers. No analytics, license checks, or third-party tracking run in this plugin.
