Top issues to fix

6 issues found · 2 high priority

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header
Security

Missing Content-Security-Policy header
Security
Add a CSP to control which sources can run scripts — the strongest single defense against XSS.
TLS certificate expires in 16 days
Security
Renew soon or enable auto-renewal to avoid a browser-warning outage.
Missing X-Content-Type-Options header
Security
Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to stop MIME-sniffing attacks.
Missing X-Frame-Options header
Security
Add X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors rule) to prevent clickjacking via hidden iframes.
1 broken link on the page
SEO
