Safe Headers Scanner helps WordPress administrators identify common issues that may cause header-related problems.
\nThe plugin scans installed themes and plugins for:\n* Unnecessary whitespace before <?php<\/code> tags\n* Extra whitespace after closing ?><\/code> tags\n* Direct output (e.g., echo<\/code>, print<\/code>) before headers are sent<\/p>\n\n

Results are displayed in a clear report, so you can review and fix potential issues easily.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the safe-headers-scanner<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to Tools > Safe Headers Scanner<\/strong> to scan your themes or plugins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Does this plugin automatically fix issues?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. It only scans and reports possible issues. You need to manually review and fix them.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will it slow down my website?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. The scan only runs when you request it from the admin panel. It does not affect frontend performance.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
