title: How do I set a custom X-Powered-By header? | ||
--- | ||
|
||
In Express, the `X-Powered-By` header is set to `Express` by default. Removing it has limited security benefits, as does setting it to another value. The latter was removed in a breaking Helmet change. | ||
|
||
If you want to replicate this behavior for some reason, you can do it with a few lines of Express: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
// NOTE: This offers limited security benefits. | ||
app.use((req, res, next) => { | ||
res.setHeader("X-Powered-By", "Foo Bar"); | ||
next(); | ||
}); | ||
``` |
