Really Simple SSL Pro is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed to ensure the security and compliance of your website with SSL/TLS standards. Here are its core features:
1. Mixed Content Scanner:
- Helps identify and fix mixed content issues on your site, which can be security vulnerabilities. Mixed content occurs when both secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) elements are loaded on a webpage.
2. Premium Email Support:
- Offers premium email support to assist you with any troubleshooting, problems, or questions you may have, ensuring a smooth SSL/TLS implementation.
3. Enhanced Cookie Security:
- Enables HTTPOnly and secure flags for cookies. HTTPOnly prevents JavaScript from accessing cookies, improving security.
4. HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS):
- Allows you to enable HTTP Strict Transport Security, which enforces secure connections to your website. This enhances overall security and protects users from potential threats.
5. HSTS Preload Submission:
- Provides the option to submit your site to the HSTS preload list, a feature of web browsers, for even greater security.
6. SSL Certificate Expiry Warnings:
- Includes a warning system to alert you via email and in the SSL dashboard when your SSL certificate is about to expire, ensuring you maintain a secure connection.
7. Back-End Mixed Content Fixer:
- Offers a mixed content fixer for the back end of your site, making it easy to address mixed content issues.
8. Security Headers:
- Allows you to implement various security headers to enhance your website’s security:
- X-Content-Type-Options: Prevents browsers from interpreting files as something other than declared by the server.
- X-XSS-Protection: Enables the Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) protection in browsers.
- X-Frame-Options: Prevents clickjacking by restricting how your site can be embedded in iframes.
- Expect-CT: Enforces Certificate Transparency to protect against misissued SSL certificates.
- No Referrer When Downgrade header: Enhances privacy and security by not sending referrers when navigating from HTTPS to HTTP.
- Content Security Policy: Adds an additional layer of security to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and data theft.
