Top issues to fix
9 issues found · 3 high priority
Missing Strict-Transport-Security header
SecurityAdd HSTS so browsers always use HTTPS — this closes the protocol-downgrade attack window.
Missing meta description
SEOAdd a ~150-character meta description to control your search-result snippet and lift click-through rate.
Slow estimated load (4.3s)
PerformanceUse a CDN, enable caching/compression, and cut render-blocking assets — every extra second costs conversions.
Missing X-Content-Type-Options header
SecurityAdd X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to stop MIME-sniffing attacks.
Missing X-Frame-Options header
SecurityAdd X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors rule) to prevent clickjacking via hidden iframes.
Missing canonical link
SEOAdd <link rel="canonical"> so search engines know which URL variant to index.
