    Security

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

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

  • Title longer than 60 characters

    SEO

    Shorten the title to under 60 characters so search results don't truncate it.

  • robots.txt not found

    SEO

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

  • sitemap.xml not found

    SEO

    Publish an XML sitemap and reference it from robots.txt to speed up page discovery.
