AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Better Headers is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Security category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Better Headers works
This plugin does not make any changes to your server configuration, such as the .htaccess file, but instead sends the headers as part of the WordPress page response. 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
