How to fix x frame options weak on Wix
Replace the weak X-Frame-Options header value with DENY or SAMEORIGIN to prevent clickjacking attacks on your store.
Steps for Wix
- Wix manages all HTTP response headers at the infrastructure level — you cannot set custom response headers directly from the Wix dashboard for standard pages.
- If the weak header is coming from a Wix site: contact Wix Support (Help Center → Contact Us) to report the misconfigured X-Frame-Options header and request it be corrected to DENY or SAMEORIGIN.
- If you use Wix Velo (custom code): you can set headers in HTTP Functions (http-functions.js) for API endpoints you build, but not for the main page responses served by Wix's CDN.
- As a workaround for embedding prevention, use Wix's built-in 'iFrame blocking' settings if available in your plan, or ensure sensitive pages (Members area, checkout) are not embeddable by confirming with Wix support.
What is x frame options weak?
The `X-Frame-Options` HTTP response header tells browsers whether your website is allowed to be loaded inside an `<iframe>`, `<frame>`, or `<object>` on another site. There are two safe values: `DENY` (no framing allowed anywhere) and `SAMEORIGIN` (only your own site can frame your pages). A third value, `ALLOW-FROM`, was once supported to whitelist a specific external domain — but it is now obsolete, ignored by most modern browsers, and therefore provides no real protection. When this header is missing, set to an unsupported value like `ALLOW-FROM`, or combined with `SAMEORIGIN` in a way that browsers parse inconsistently, your pages are effectively unprotected against framing by attackers.
Without a properly enforced `X-Frame-Options` header, attackers can silently embed your store's checkout, login, or account pages inside invisible iframes on malicious websites — a technique called clickjacking. A shopper thinks they're clicking a button on the attacker's page, but they're actually clicking your hidden iframe: entering payment details, changing account settings, or completing unwanted purchases. This is a real theft and fraud vector that can lead to chargebacks, customer complaints, regulatory scrutiny under PCI-DSS, and loss of consumer trust. Search engines like Google also consider security posture signals when evaluating site quality; a site known to be compromised through clickjacking can suffer ranking and reputation damage. Fixing this header takes under 30 minutes and closes the vulnerability entirely for all modern browsers.
