Top issues to fix

7 issues found · 3 high priority

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

Add HSTS so browsers always use HTTPS — this closes the protocol-downgrade attack window.
Missing Content-Security-Policy header
Security
Add a CSP to control which sources can run scripts — the strongest single defense against XSS.
Missing meta description
SEO
Add a ~150-character meta description to control your search-result snippet and lift click-through rate.
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.
Missing canonical link
