Top issues to fix

5 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.

  • 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.

  • Missing X-Frame-Options header

    Security

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

  • sitemap.xml not found

    SEO

    Publish an XML sitemap and reference it from robots.txt to speed up page discovery.

  • 5 broken links on the page

    SEO

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