Top Priorities (5)

Sorted by impact
Critical: 1

Content-Security-Policy header is missing

Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything your users type — including credentials.

Security › Security Headers
Critical: 2

HSTS header is missing

Without HSTS, a network attacker can downgrade the very first connection to HTTP and steal the user's session.

Security › Security Headers
Critical: 3

No Content-Security-Policy header found

Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything users type — credentials, payment data, session tokens.

Security › Content Security Policy
Critical: 4

No H1 heading found

No H1 means screen-reader users can't identify the page's primary topic, and Google's content-extraction degrades.

Accessibility › Heading Hierarchy
Warning: 5

108 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing

High HTTP request count — bundling, sprite-ing, and HTTP/2 server push can reduce per-request overhead.

Performance › Page Weight Budget
What fixing these means. Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Your LCP of 4.1s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. The 3 security gaps leave your users exposed — modern browsers increasingly warn visitors about insecure sites. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
3 security gaps detected — browsers may warn visitors about your site.
1 accessibility issue excludes users who rely on assistive technology.
Your LCP is 4.1s — fixing the 1 performance critical could bring it under Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold.

Business case

What fixing the audit's findings is worth -- and what ignoring them keeps costing.

  • Page takes 4.1s to load
    Users abandon at ~3s — you're 1.6s over the 2.5s threshold
    → Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
  • Page feels frozen for 1.7s
    Clicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs
    → Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration
  • No HSTS header
    Returning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request
    → Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
  • No Content-Security-Policy header
    Higher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form
    → Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean
  • No skip-to-content link
    Keyboard and screen-reader users must tab through the entire header on every page
    → Add a visible-on-focus <a href="#main">Skip to content</a> as the first focusable element

Observations (2)

No build tool detected

A framework (Bulma) was detected but no bundler was identified. The build tool may not be detectable from output patterns, or the site may use the framework's built-in bundler.

Complex technology stack detected

22 technologies identified. A complex stack increases maintenance burden and attack surface. Consider whether all components are actively needed.
