SecurityAdd a CSP to control which sources can run scripts — the strongest single defense against XSS.
2 cookies without Secure/HttpOnly flags
SecuritySet Secure and HttpOnly on session cookies so they can't leak over HTTP or be read by injected scripts.
No structured data (JSON-LD) found
SEOAdd JSON-LD (Organization, Article, Product…) to become eligible for rich results.
Missing OpenGraph tags
