To earn an A+ grade, your site must issue all HTTP response headers that we check. This indicates a high level of commitment to improving the security of your visitors.

Over an HTTP connection we get Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection. Via an HTTPS connection, 2 additional headers are checked for presence which are Strict-Transport-Security and Public-Key-Pins.

• Once the plug-in is activated it performs a test (before and after): https://securityheaders.com/

No, Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP is Fast, Secure and does not affect the SEO and speed of your website.

It was created as a solution to force the browser to use secure connections when a site is running on HTTPS. It is a security header that is added to the web server and reflected in the response header as Strict-Transport-Security. HSTS is important because it addresses the following anomalies:

This step is important to submit your website and/or domain to an approved HSTS list. Google officially compiles this list and it is used by Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE11 and Edge. You can forward your site to the official HSTS preload directory. ('https://hstspreload.org/')

If you want to use Preload HSTS for your site, there are a few requirements before you can activate it.

• Have a valid SSL certificate. You can't do any of this anyway without it.
• You must redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS (recommended via permanent 301 redirects). This means that your site should be HTTPS only.
• You need to serve all subdomains in HTTPS as well. If you have subdomains, you will need an SSL certificate.

FLoC is a mega tracker that monitors user activity on all sites, stores the information in the browser, and then uses machine learning to place users into cohorts with similar interests. This way, advertisers can target groups of people with similar interests. Plus, according to Google's own testing, FLoC achieves at least 95% more conversions than cookies.

Scott Helme reported that as of May 3, already 967 of the first 1 million domains had disabled FLoC's interest-cohort in their Permissions-Policy header. That list included some big sites like The Guardian and IKEA.
