    SEO

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

    Security

    Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to stop MIME-sniffing attacks.

    Add X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors rule) to prevent clickjacking via hidden iframes.

    Set 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

    Trim the meta description to under 160 characters to avoid truncation in search results.
