Missing headers like CSP, X-Frame-Options or HSTS expose your site to advanced threats.
No Security Headers Configured
Key Points: HTTP security headers add extra protection — and many WordPress sites forget them entirely.
Headers like Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options are invisible guards. They stop script injection, clickjacking, and force HTTPS. Without them, your site is easier to manipulate.
📉 What You’re Missing
- CSP: Stops inline scripts and unauthorized domains
- HSTS: Forces HTTPS everywhere
- X-Content-Type-Options: Prevents MIME sniffing
🛠️ How to Add Them
- Edit
.htaccessor server config to include key headers - Use plugins like “Security Headers” or “HTTP Headers”
- Test setup using securityheaders.com
🧠 Tip
Headers are cheap protection with big gains. They take minutes to add and can block whole classes of attacks.
