Top issues to fix
12 issues found · 4 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.
Over half of images are missing alt text
AccessibilityAdd alt attributes to images — screen readers depend on them, and they help image SEO.
Missing viewport meta tag
AccessibilityAdd <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> — without it the site is broken on mobile.
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.
