    Hi,
    Purchased This Cache product. But every time I activate the plugin under WordPress, my security headers all start to fail via securityheader.com / serpworkx.com.

    Plus Google page speed test works once then stops displaying data.

    I have to disactivate W3 total cache, and replace it with a free one (WP Fastest Cache) and security headers come back reporting A+

    Any quick pointers would be great 🙂

    Cheers

    Hello Mark,

    I’ve checked your website and indeed the security headers are missing. I can also see that the W3 Total cache is not enabled at the moment.
    You can set up the Security headers in the Performance>Browser Cache, and scroll down to the Security headers section. There you can enable the headers you want, and make sure to save all settings and purge the cache.

    Thanks!

    HI.
    O.K removed all non essential plugins, simple SSL etc
    removed this from .Htaccess
    <ifModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Strict-Transport-Security “max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains;preload” env=HTTPS
    Header set X-XSS-Protection “0; mode=block”
    Header set X-Content-Type-Options nosniff
    Header set X-Frame-Options “SAMEORIGIN”
    Header set Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
    Header set Content-Security-Policy “default-src ‘none’; script-src ‘self’; connect-src ‘self’; img-src ‘self’; style-src ‘self’;”
    Header set Permissions-Policy “geolocation=self”
    </ifModule>

    reinstalled w3 total cache
    reinstalled latest wordpress

    But still w3 cache not handling the security headers
    reinstalled w3 cache set default values
    still not working as required

    Hello Mark,

    Thank you for your feedback.
    So the rules you’ve had for the security headers may be causing the conflict with the W3TC rules.
    Can you please drop us a note directly via the plugin in Performance>Support>Bug report so we can check this for you?
    Thanks!
