Description
Is your WordPress site still serving pages over HTTP instead of HTTPS?
Do you see browser warnings like « Not Secure » even though you installed SSL?
Are you getting mixed content errors in Chrome or Firefox after enabling HTTPS?
Is your Site Health report complaining about missing security headers?
👉 Volixta SSL & Security Headers fixes all of these in a few clicks.
Easily activate SSL, force 301 redirects, repair mixed content, and apply recommended WordPress security headers like HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options.
🔐 What does Volixta do?
- Activate SSL automatically: safely update your WordPress
homeandsiteurlto usehttps://. - Force HTTPS with 301 redirect: adds a safe
.htaccessblock on Apache/LiteSpeed, or falls back to a PHP redirect if needed. - Fix mixed content: scans your posts, postmeta, and options for
http://links and replaces them withhttps://(serialization-safe). - Apply modern HTTP Security Headers: HSTS, Content-Security-Policy (
upgrade-insecure-requests), X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, COOP/COEP/CORP. - Nginx friendly: when
.htaccessis not available, Volixta shows ready-to-copy Nginx rules. - Site Health integration: checks for SSL, redirects, and security headers.
✅ Why choose Volixta?
-
Safe by design
Nothing is applied automatically. You choose what to enable. Each.htaccessmodification creates a timestamped backup. -
Serialization-safe mixed content fixer
No risk of breaking complex serialized data inpostmetaoroptions. -
Admin-only processing
Everything runs in the admin area. The frontend only uses the optional PHP redirect when required. -
Localhost aware
Detects local environments (localhost,.local,.test) and provides instructions for enabling trusted HTTPS locally with mkcert.
