Top issues to fix

  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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

    Security

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

  • Meta description longer than 160 characters

    SEO

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

  • Missing canonical link

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