with any other modifications done to the `functions.php` file).

### Will this plugin persist even if I change or update my theme?

Yes. This plugin works independently of your theme and will continue to function
regardless of theme changes.

### What happens if I deactivate or uninstall this plugin?

If you deactivate or uninstall this plugin, the version information will no longer
be removed.

### What security headers does this plugin add?

The plugin adds the following headers:
 – **Content-Security-Policy**: Helps prevent
XSS attacks by specifying allowed sources for content. – **X-Content-Type-Options**:
Prevents browsers from interpreting files as a different MIME type. – **X-UA-Compatible**:
