Top issues to fix

6 issues found · 1 high priority

  • No H1 heading found

    SEO

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

  • 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 cookie without Secure/HttpOnly flags

    Security

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

  • Heavy page (2.2 MB)

    Performance

    Aim for under 2 MB: compress images and split large JavaScript bundles.

  • 1 broken link on the page

    SEO

    Fix or remove broken links — they waste crawl budget and erode user trust.
