Top issues to fix

9 issues found · 2 high priority

  • Missing Content-Security-Policy header

    Security

    Add a CSP to control which sources can run scripts — the strongest single defense against XSS.

  • Slow estimated load (6.2s)

    Performance

    Use a CDN, enable caching/compression, and cut render-blocking assets — every extra second costs conversions.

  • 2 cookies without Secure/HttpOnly flags

    Security

    Set Secure and HttpOnly on session cookies so they can't leak over HTTP or be read by injected scripts.

  • Missing canonical link

    SEO

    Add <link rel="canonical"> so search engines know which URL variant to index.

  • No structured data (JSON-LD) found

    SEO

    Add JSON-LD (Organization, Article, Product…) to become eligible for rich results.

  • Missing OpenGraph tags

    SEO

    Add og:title/og:description/og:image so shared links render a proper preview card.
