Top issues to fix
11 issues found · 3 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.
Slow estimated load (6.7s)
PerformanceUse a CDN, enable caching/compression, and cut render-blocking assets — every extra second costs conversions.
Missing X-Content-Type-Options header
SecurityAdd X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to stop MIME-sniffing attacks.
Missing X-Frame-Options header
SecurityAdd X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors rule) to prevent clickjacking via hidden iframes.
Title longer than 60 characters
SEOShorten the title to under 60 characters so search results don't truncate it.
