Volixta SSL & Security Headers

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 home and siteurl to use https://.
  • Force HTTPS with 301 redirect: adds a safe .htaccess block 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 with https:// (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 .htaccess is 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 .htaccess modification creates a timestamped backup.

  • Serialization-safe mixed content fixer
    No risk of breaking complex serialized data in postmeta or options.

  • 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.

Reviews

After switching my site to HTTPS, I kept seeing small issues I couldn’t fully trace. This plugin helped me sort everything out quickly — redirects, old HTTP links, and missing headers. The interface is straightforward and nothing feels complicated. It just makes the whole SSL setup cleaner and more reliable.

I was having some trouble with mixed content and partial redirects after enabling SSL.Tried Volixta SSL out of curiosity and it handled everything automatically.All HTTP links were replaced correctly, and the security headers feature added an extra layer of protection without any hassle.Solid plugin — simple, effective, and lightweight.
