  • Missing Content-Security-Policy header

    Security

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

    Add exactly one H1 describing the page's main topic — it anchors the document outline for search engines and screen readers.

    Security

    Set Secure and HttpOnly on session cookies so they can't leak over HTTP or be read by injected scripts.

    Add <link rel="canonical"> so search engines know which URL variant to index.
