Top issues to fix

12 issues found · 5 high priority

  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

    Security

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

  • Missing Content-Security-Policy header

    Security

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

  • Missing meta description

    SEO

    Add a ~150-character meta description to control your search-result snippet and lift click-through rate.

  • 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.

  • Over half of images are missing alt text

    Accessibility

    Add alt attributes to images — screen readers depend on them, and they help image SEO.

  • Missing X-Content-Type-Options header

    Security

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