Top issues to fix

6 issues found · 1 high priority

  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

    Security

    Add HSTS so browsers always use HTTPS — this closes the protocol-downgrade attack window.

  • Missing X-Content-Type-Options header

    Security

    Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to stop MIME-sniffing attacks.

  • Missing X-Frame-Options header

    Security

    Add X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors rule) to prevent clickjacking via hidden iframes.

  • Title longer than 60 characters

    SEO

    Shorten the title to under 60 characters so search results don't truncate it.

  • Multiple H1 headings found

    SEO

    Keep a single H1 per page and demote the others to H2/H3.

  • 5 broken links on the page

    SEO

    Fix or remove broken links — they waste crawl budget and erode user trust.
