# FetchMetadata Plugin

This Joomla Plugin helps to protect your sites by using [Fetch Metadata Request Headers](https://web.dev/fetch-metadata/) ([w3c-spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/fetch-metadata/))

## Features

This Joomla Plugin helps to protect your sites by using [Fetch Metadata Request Headers](https://web.dev/fetch-metadata/)

The implemened rules are:
- Step 1: Allow requests from browsers which don't send Fetch Metadata
- Step 2: Allow same-site and browser-initiated requests
- Step 3: Allow simple top-level navigation and iframing
- Step 4: Opt out endpoints that are meant to serve cross-site traffic (Optional)
- Step 5: Reject all other requests that are cross-site and not navigational

- [Download the latest version of the plugin](https://github.com/zero-24/plg_system_fetchmetadata/releases/latest)
