    Security

  • No H1 heading found

    SEO

    Add exactly one H1 describing the page's main topic — it anchors the document outline for search engines and screen readers.

  • Meta description longer than 160 characters

    Trim the meta description to under 160 characters to avoid truncation in search results.
