We were being harassed by our ISOs because the Acunetix scans kept coming back with HIGHs. Always XSS. We tried everything the report recommended as a remediation...nothing worked. This plugin should come bundled with WP. Or at the very least be added to the list of recommendations Acunetix suggests. Thank you for creating and sharing it.

Very useful plugin.

We were directed by a security researcher to an XSS vulnerability on our site, and this plugin seems to have solved the issue. Only plugin with this functionality I was able to find. Fairly straightforward and flexible.

Superb Plugin. Saved my site

Superb Plugin. Saved my site

Great Little Plugin :)

After running a full site scan using Acunetix and receiving hundreds of XSS alerts, this great little plugin secured the site. Bear in mind we have the free versions of Wordfence and iThemes Security installed, we incorrectly assumed that was enough... I'm not sure why this plugin isn't used, or reviewed more. Thank you!
