    Hi, does this work with caching plugins like WP Fastest Cache or WP Super Cache?

    When i test headers at this site https://securityheaders.io/ with caching disabled it shows headers are working, but they don’t seem to work when caching is enabled? I’ve tried clearing cache but still same result.

    You are right. In fact, it looks like numerous cache plug-ins are only caching the content of a page, not the http headers…
    From my tests, I found out that only W3 Total Cache does not remove these headers.

    Hi Carl, after testing some other caching plugins i found that Comet Cache doesn’t strip the security headers. Works perfectly with that! Thanks

    Hi
    This has to be a security issue, how many website owners on the internet have web security in place then these caching plugins just strip out the headers so now their website is unsafe again.

    I have tested my website using https://observatory.mozilla.org/ and https://securityheaders.io/ and get inconsistent results.

    On both websites I get a low score but disable the caching plugin and I get a high score. I thought I was doing it wrong.
