## Descrizione

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:

## FAQ

### 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 appear.

### How do I reset the headers?

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

### Can I disable all headers at once?

Yes. The “Disable All” button 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.
Test after enabling them, especially with third-party scripts.

### Does this support headers like COOP, CORP, and COEP?

Yes, advanced cross-origin headers like COOP, CORP, and COEP are supported.
