Top issues to fix
11 issues found · 2 high priority
Missing Strict-Transport-Security header
SecurityAdd HSTS so browsers always use HTTPS — this closes the protocol-downgrade attack window.
Missing Content-Security-Policy header
SecurityAdd a CSP to control which sources can run scripts — the strongest single defense against XSS.
Missing X-Content-Type-Options header
SecurityAdd X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to stop MIME-sniffing attacks.
2 cookies without Secure/HttpOnly flags
SecuritySet Secure and HttpOnly on session cookies so they can't leak over HTTP or be read by injected scripts.
Meta description longer than 160 characters
SEOTrim the meta description to under 160 characters to avoid truncation in search results.
Missing canonical link
SEOAdd <link rel="canonical"> so search engines know which URL variant to index.
