## Security

### Security Headers (D — 45/100)

*4 of 10 headers properly configured*

## Sustainability

### CO2 Per Page Load (D — 50/100)

*1.17g CO2 per view*

### Transfer Efficiency (B — 80/100)

*90% efficient*

- **[INFO]** Transfer efficiency: 90% — An estimated 426 KB (10%) could be eliminated: 0 KB via better compression, 0 KB via modern image formats, 426 KB of unused JavaScript. This wasted data produces 0.12g of unnecessary CO2 per page view.
