How to add the Referrer-Policy header in Netlify

Referrer-Policy controls how much of the current URL is sent in the Referer header when users follow links or load resources.

Netlify configuration (_headers file)

/*
  Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Put the _headers file in your publish directory, or use a [[headers]] block in netlify.toml, then redeploy.

Before you deploy

strict-origin-when-cross-origin is the browser default in modern browsers and a safe choice. Use no-referrer for maximum privacy if analytics do not depend on referrers.

Verify it works

curl -sI https://your-site.com | grep -i referrer-policy

Or run a free Korrali Web scan to check this and every other security header at once.
