Header Security
Shopify Referrer-Policy Header Check
The Referrer-Policy header controls referrer information sent by your Shopify store. Check its configuration to protect customer data.
What this test checks
This test checks whether the Referrer-Policy header is present and correctly configured on your Shopify store. This header controls referrer information sent during requests. An overly permissive policy can expose sensitive data, while a restrictive policy protects customer privacy.
Our recommendation
Set a strict Referrer-Policy, such as 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' or 'same-origin'. Use Shopify's built‑in security settings to configure this header. Test your configuration with browser developer tools.
