Top issues to fix

8 issues found · 2 high priority

  • Missing Content-Security-Policy header

    Security

    Add a CSP to control which sources can run scripts — the strongest single defense against XSS.

  • Over half of images are missing alt text

    Accessibility

    Add alt attributes to images — screen readers depend on them, and they help image SEO.

  • 3 cookies 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.

  • Meta description longer than 160 characters

    SEO

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

  • Missing OpenGraph tags

    SEO

    Add og:title/og:description/og:image so shared links render a proper preview card.

  • robots.txt not found

    SEO

    Publish /robots.txt with a Sitemap: directive to guide crawlers.
