🚀 Do I need technical knowledge to use this plugin?

Absolutely not! BaseCloud Security Manager is designed for everyone. Simply activate the plugin and enable the master switch – you’ll have enterprise-grade security in under 2 minutes. Our smart defaults protect 99% of WordPress sites without any configuration.

🛡️ What is a Content Security Policy (CSP) and why do I need it?

CSP is like a bouncer for your website – it controls which scripts, styles, and resources can run. It’s the #1 defense against XSS attacks, which affect 87% of websites. Our plugin includes a carefully crafted CSP that protects you while remaining compatible with popular themes and plugins.

⚠️ Will this plugin break my site?

Very unlikely! Our default settings are designed for maximum compatibility. We’ve tested with hundreds of themes and plugins. However, if you use custom scripts from external domains, you might need to adjust the CSP settings. If any issues occur, simply disable the master switch to restore normal operation.

📍 Where do I find the settings?

Go to Settings > BaseCloud Security in your WordPress admin dashboard. You’ll also see a “Settings” link on the main Plugins page next to BaseCloud Security Manager.

🔒 How do I know if the security headers are working?

Use online tools like:
• Mozilla Observatory (observatory.mozilla.org)
• SecurityHeaders.com
• GTmetrix Security Tab

These will scan your site and show you exactly which security headers are active.

🌐 Does this work with CDNs and caching plugins?

Yes! Security headers work at the server level before caching, so they’re compatible with:
• Cloudflare, MaxCDN, KeyCDN
• WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache
• All major caching solutions

🚨 What attacks does this prevent?

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) – Malicious script injection
• Clickjacking – Invisible iframe attacks
• MIME-type confusion – File type attacks
• SSL stripping – Downgrade attacks
• Data theft – Information leakage
• Privacy violations – Referrer tracking

⚡ Will this slow down my website?

No! Security headers add less than 1KB to your response and are processed by the browser, not your server. Many users report improved performance due to better caching and reduced attack attempts.

🔧 Can I customize the security policies?

Absolutely! While our defaults work for 99% of sites, advanced users can customize:
• Content Security Policy rules
• Referrer Policy settings
• Permissions Policy features
• HSTS configuration
