# WordPress as a back office

Hardening WordPress for headless use.

On a new install, Leiho also hardens WordPress for headless use (Settings → _WordPress as a back office_): no indexing of the CMS (noindex header, `robots.txt`, no sitemap), public WordPress pages redirect to the same page on the front end, XML-RPC off, `/wp/v2/users` closed to visitors. wp-admin, login, the REST API and draft previews keep working. Sites updating from an earlier version keep their behavior until you tick the options.
