The reason for this is that many of them are not valid for assets such as stylesheets and images, but are sent anyway if the server configuration method is used. Unlike many security plugins, these headers are also sent for your admin panel, where security is arguably the most important. Headers that can be set include… * Feature-Policy * Referrer-Policy * Strict-Transport- Security * X-Frame-Options * X-Content-Type-Options * X-XSS-Protection * X-Permitted- Cross-Domain-Policies * Expect-CT ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/744516016d626c459e4e809336b995fd47ab5884c293bfbcfd869efdcfa872a8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect for my needs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-for-my-needs-134/)󠁿 [Rik Lewis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/riklewis/) September 28, 2024 Perfect for my needs, allows me to easily add response headers which improves the security of my website.
