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.

WP PlugIndex currently records HeaderShield version 1.0.14 as active, updated 7mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
HeaderShield adds a conservative set of security headers that improve browser protection without breaking most sites. It also provides optional strict cross-origin protections for sites that are ready for them.
Strict Mode can additionally enable COEP, COOP, and CORP for stronger isolation, but may break third‑party scripts or embeds. Use with care and test on staging first.
Source code for third-party assets
The admin UI uses SlimSelect for the multi-select dropdown. Human-readable source is included in the plugin:
com/brianvoe/slim-select (MIT). This plugin does not use a custom build process; the included files are from the published release.
