Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Why security headers important?
When auditing websites, security headers are frequently forgotten.
Although some may argue that website security is unrelated to SEO, it does become so when a site is compromised and search traffic completely disappears.
Everyone who publishes content online should pay special attention to security headers.
Getting hacked is not good. You lose traffic, customers and it’s a pain to resolve all the issues.
But good thing you’re smart and have searched for this plugin:).
