How Do I Add HSTS to WordPress?

HSTS stands for HTTP Strict Transport Security. It’s a security feature that allows your website to tell browsers not to load it over an insecure connection, such as HTTP.

In order to activate HSTS, you’ll need to add the following line to your website’s .htaccess file:.

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000

Once you’ve added the line, you’ll need to reload your website in order for the change to take effect. To reload your website, you can either click the Reload button in your browser’s toolbar, or you can use the following command:

php -f /wp-config.php reload

Once your website has reloaded, you’ll need to check to see if HSTS is activated. To do this, you can use the following command:

htaccess -t

If the command returns a result that says “Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000,” then HSTS is activated on your website. If the command returns a result that says “No such file or directory,” then HSTS is not activated on your website.
