## Security

### Security Headers (F — 30/100)

*3 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[PASS]** Strict-Transport-Security is properly configured
- **[WARNING]** X-Content-Type-Options header is missing — This header prevents MIME-type sniffing, which can lead to XSS attacks. Set it to 'nosniff'.
- **[WARNING]** X-Frame-Options header is missing — This header prevents clickjacking by controlling who can embed your page in a frame. Set it to DENY or SAMEORIGIN.
- **[WARNING]** Referrer-Policy header is missing — Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests. Set to 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' or stricter.
- **[WARNING]** Permissions-Policy header is missing — Controls which browser features (camera, microphone, geolocation) are allowed. Set it to restrict unused features.
- **[CRITICAL]** Content-Security-Policy header is missing — CSP is the most important header for preventing XSS attacks. See the CSP section for detailed analysis.
- **[WARNING]** Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header is missing — COOP isolates your browsing context, preventing cross-origin side-channel attacks. Set to 'same-origin'.
- **[WARNING]** Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header is missing — COEP prevents loading cross-origin resources without explicit permission. Required for SharedArrayBuffer and high-resolution timers.
- **[PASS]** X-Powered-By header is not present
- **[PASS]** Server header is not present
- **[PASS]** Domain is in the Chrome HSTS preload list (status: preloaded)

### Content Security Policy (F — 0/100)

*No enforcing CSP policy found*

- **[CRITICAL]** No Content-Security-Policy header found — CSP is the most effective defense against XSS attacks. Add a Content-Security-Policy header to restrict resource loading.

### TLS & Certificates (A — 90/100)

*TLS 1.3, 7 checks passed*

- **[PASS]** TLS 1.3 is used
- **[PASS]** Strong cipher suite is used
- **[INFO]** HTTP/2 is not negotiated — HTTP/2 provides multiplexing and header compression for better performance.
- **[INFO]** OCSP stapling not enabled — Without stapling, the browser performs a separate OCSP roundtrip on first connection -- adding latency and leaking the visited host to the CA. Enable OCSP stapling on your TLS server.
- **[PASS]** Certificate is valid (expires in 7 days)
- **[WARNING]** Certificate expires soon (7 days remaining) — Renew the certificate before it expires to avoid browser warnings.
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 2 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 6 domain(s)
- **[PASS]** Certificate is issued by a trusted CA

### Cookie Security (A+ — 100/100)

*No cookies set — no cookie security risks*

- **[PASS]** No cookies set — no cookie security risks

### Cookie Hygiene (A+ — 100/100)

*No cookies set -- cookie-hygiene check is N/A*

- **[PASS]** No cookies set

### WAF / Bot Protection (B — 75/100)

*No WAF detected via response headers*

- **[INFO]** No WAF detected — Response headers don't match any known WAF or bot-management product. Sites exposed to abuse (login, signup, payment) typically benefit from a WAF such as Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS WAF, or Imperva.

### security.txt (C — 60/100)

*No security.txt file found*

- **[INFO]** No security.txt file found — security.txt (RFC 9116) provides a standardized way for security researchers to report vulnerabilities. Create one at /.well-known/security.txt with at least a Contact field.

### Cross-Origin Tab Safety (C — 75/100)

*2 of 9 new-tab link(s) missing rel=noopener*

- **[WARNING]** 2 link(s) open in a new tab without rel=noopener — Without rel="noopener", the destination tab can navigate the original tab via window.opener -- a reverse-tabnabbing phishing primitive. Modern browsers default to noopener since Chrome 88 / Firefox 79 / Safari 12.1, but explicit rel="noopener noreferrer" remains the documented best practice for older browsers, in-app webviews, and security scanners.

### CSP Inline-Style Readiness (A+ — 100/100)

*No inline style attributes -- strict CSP is feasible*

- **[PASS]** No inline style attributes detected

### Trusted Types (XSS Sink Hardening) (A+ — 100/100)

*No CSP header -- Trusted Types check is N/A*

- **[PASS]** No CSP header found -- Trusted Types check is N/A

### Bot Challenge Detection (A+ — 100/100)

*Scan reached real page content (no bot-protection interstitial)*

- **[PASS]** No bot-protection interstitial detected -- the rest of the report reflects the real page

### Soft-404 Detection (A+ — 100/100)

*HTTP status is non-2xx -- soft-404 check is N/A*

- **[PASS]** HTTP status is non-2xx -- soft-404 check is N/A

### Empty Page Detection (A+ — 100/100)

*Page has substantive body text and no placeholder / template-leak signals*

- **[PASS]** Page has substantive body text and no placeholder / template-leak signals

### Geo-Restriction Detection (A+ — 100/100)

*No geo-restriction signals detected -- scan reached the page from an allowed region*

- **[PASS]** No geo-restriction detected

### Maintenance Mode Detection (A+ — 100/100)

*No maintenance-mode signals detected -- scan reached a normal page*

- **[PASS]** No maintenance-mode signals detected

### Subresource Integrity Adoption (F — 30/100)

*0% SRI adoption (0/21 third-party resources)*

- **[WARNING]** SRI adoption: 0/21 third-party resources protected (0%) — Of 21 third-party `<script>` / `<link rel=stylesheet>` resources, 0 (0%) declare a Subresource Integrity hash via the `integrity=` attribute. SRI binds the page to the exact bytes of the third-party resource: if the CDN is compromised, attacker-modified bytes won't match the declared hash and the browser refuses to execute the resource.

Missing SRI on (first 5 examples):

  - https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4iPho4/yQ/l/en_US/K2h7jxN5iFfI2foDqJcWK-JvVshefvVspIc7esnko15caEOba1tO7lFGSBvj8_FEnWoMaDFORh7F3BSaV-S7OueDp0eU_FqQ44ee0qnL2dG90HA8ohO-dKm4-RtKQGwG0ihEiYp8qVJ6P8N-Qx8lcabVTDOwgx-s7CoHnsVjQqltBeBhrWYOAv6SoDVph1swGHhSx_h2otzgdunJlmSYSlxu50UmUcr6BPouu8FxhceZaR68thKqLYr_uYLTacPlfAVsTAuun_h8ECZYBY4hBBEVPzG9h-JZCcc2ZP1MqbA8xtVANryZAdmh5DEndjkKeHWrECl3_n.js

  - https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4ix-z4/y9/l/en_US/jjsRJE-Y85l.js
  - https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4iMfC4/y4/l/en_US/2uQ3HyJLYY0Tcf-0O6cLbIjNnTnAPHAP4dnnUjS_BeX01Ut0jEWncjGSR_169Kn2AOA7NezpHXgttpeNUmV6E67HnVrQ6F4LSCeLGFH8Ug8wma7ySFlKTjgURSS1OrajkDar.js

Fix: add `integrity="sha384-..."` and `crossorigin="anonymous"` attributes. Generators: srihash.org, or in-browser via `await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-384', bytes)`. Cache-bust the resource URL when you change versions, since the integrity hash will mismatch with old cached bytes.

### CORS Depth (A+ — 100/100)

*No CORS response headers -- the resource is same-origin-only by browser default*

- **[PASS]** No CORS response headers -- the resource is same-origin-only by browser default

### Permissions-Policy Granularity (C — 60/100)

*No Permissions-Policy header set -- powerful features (camera / microphone / geolocation / payment / USB) default to allow-on-same-origin*

- **[WARNING]** Permissions-Policy header not set -- features default to allow-on-same-origin — Without a `Permissions-Policy` (or legacy `Feature-Policy`) header, every powerful browser feature defaults to its spec default policy (typically `self`). A third-party iframe injected via XSS or a misconfigured embed can still request access to the user's camera, microphone, geolocation, payment APIs, USB devices, etc. Explicitly deny features the page doesn't need:

```
Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=(), payment=(), usb=(), accelerometer=(), gyroscope=()
```

Features the page legitimately uses can stay enabled with `feature=(self)`.

### Referrer-Policy Strictness (B — 75/100)

*Referrer-Policy header not set -- browser default applies (modern: strict-origin-when-cross-origin; legacy browsers: no-referrer-when-downgrade)*

- **[INFO]** Referrer-Policy header not set -- browser default applies — Without an explicit `Referrer-Policy` header, the browser falls back to its default policy. Modern browsers (Chrome 85+, Firefox 87+, Safari 15+) default to `strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, which is privacy-safe. Legacy browsers default to the leaky `no-referrer-when-downgrade`, which sends the full URL (including path + query) on cross-origin HTTPS-to-HTTPS requests. Set an explicit header to ensure consistent behavior:

```
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
```

This matches the modern browser default and is privacy-safe without breaking referrer-based same-origin analytics.

### Source Map Exposure (A+ — 100/100)

*Source-map probe didn't run on this scan*

- **[PASS]** Source-map probe didn't run on this scan

### HTML Version Disclosure (A+ — 100/100)

*No software-version disclosures in HTML*

- **[PASS]** No software-version disclosures in HTML

### Open Redirect Surface (B — 90/100)

*1 link(s) carry redirect-shaped query parameter(s)*

- **[INFO]** 1 link(s) carry redirect-shaped query parameter(s) — Heuristic flag -- whether each endpoint actually permits an arbitrary redirect target depends on server-side validation. Audit the listed paths' redirect-target handling: the endpoint should either (a) restrict to a relative path, (b) restrict to an allowlisted host set, or (c) sign the target. Open redirects power phishing flows (the attacker's URL begins with your trusted domain) and bypass some SSRF-mitigation cookie scoping. Common parameter names flagged: redirect, redirect_uri, redirect_url, redirecturl, return, returnto, return_to, returnurl, return_url, next, nexturl, next_url, continue, goto, dest, destination, forward, target.

### Auth Security (A — 85/100)

*2 auth-security finding(s) on the login page*

- **[PASS]** Login page detected — The page contains a `type=password` input and at least one identifier field (username / email). Auth-security findings below evaluate the page's hardening posture.
- **[WARNING]** Login form does not contain a recognizable CSRF token — Standard frameworks emit CSRF tokens as a hidden input named `_csrf`, `csrf_token`, `csrfmiddlewaretoken` (Django), `authenticity_token` (Rails), or `__RequestVerificationToken` (ASP.NET). None of those were found. Possibilities: (1) the form posts to an API that uses a custom header or SameSite cookie reliance for CSRF -- legitimate but not visible from this scan, (2) the form is genuinely missing CSRF protection, which would let an attacker submit logins from another origin via a hidden POST. Verify the auth flow has SOME CSRF defense.

### Subdomain Inventory Exposure (A+ — 100/100)

*No risky subdomain names in certificate SANs*

- **[PASS]** No risky subdomain names in certificate SANs

### JS Library Vulnerabilities (A+ — 100/100)

*No known vulnerabilities*

- **[PASS]** No known JavaScript library vulnerabilities detected

### Information Leakage (A+ — 100/100)

*No exposures*

- **[INFO]** No security.txt found — Consider adding a security.txt at /.well-known/security.txt.
- **[PASS]** No sensitive files exposed

### Email Security (A — 90/100)

*DMARC: reject, SPF: -all, DKIM*

- **[PASS]** DMARC policy is reject — strongest protection
- **[PASS]** SPF ends in -all (hard fail) — strongest setting
- **[PASS]** DKIM configured (selectors: smtpapi, pm)
- **[INFO]** MTA-STS not configured — MTA-STS forces inbound mail to use TLS, preventing downgrade attacks. Requires both a TXT record at _mta-sts.<domain> and a policy file at https://mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt.
- **[INFO]** TLS-RPT not configured — TLS-RPT (RFC 8460) lets MTAs report TLS-handshake failures, so you can detect and fix MTA-STS misconfigurations. Add a TXT record at _smtp._tls.<domain>.
- **[INFO]** BIMI not configured — BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) lets supporting clients (Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo) display your verified logo next to your messages. Optional but raises trust signals. Requires DMARC at p=quarantine or p=reject to be honored.

### API Surface (A+ — 100/100)

*No API specs or GraphQL introspection found (probed 11 candidate path(s))*

- **[PASS]** No API specs or GraphQL introspection found (probed 11 path(s))

### Permissions-Policy (D — 40/100)

- **[WARNING]** No Permissions-Policy header — Consider adding a Permissions-Policy header to restrict browser feature access from embedded content.

### CORS Configuration (B — 80/100)

*No CORS headers*

- **[PASS]** No CORS headers present — secure default

## Performance

### Page Weight Budget (D — 44/100)

*2.4 MB transferred, 44 requests*

- **[INFO]** Page weighs 11.7 MB (2.4 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 2.1 MB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[PASS]** 44 HTTP requests
- **[INFO]** Estimated 0.51 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (D — 50/100)

*100% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[WARNING]** Third-party code accounts for 100% of page weight (2.4 MiB of 2.4 MiB)
- **[PASS]** Third-party blocking time is low (0 ms)

### Text Compression (A+ — 100/100)

*All text resources are compressed*

- **[PASS]** All text resources are compressed

### Image Optimization (A — 90/100)

*4 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/yb/r/SxCW... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*3585ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4/yD/r/p...: 1811ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4iRwq4/y...: 424ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.instagram.com/: 354ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4ix-z4/y...: 348ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 291ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Third-party scripts: 3212ms (90% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*No web fonts (system fonts)*

- **[PASS]** No web fonts loaded — system fonts are fastest

### JS Bundles (F — 20/100)

*34 scripts, 1.5 MB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4iRwq4/y...: 595 KB unused (68%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4igBN4/y...: 178 KB unused (84%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4iDWR4/y...: 129 KB unused (78%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4i1kT4/y...: 111 KB unused (88%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/v4ix-z4/y...: 81 KB unused (43%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 1.5 MB

### Resource Caching (A+ — 100/100)

*All resources properly cached*

- **[PASS]** No caching issues found

### Critical Rendering Path (A+ — 100/100)

*No render-blocking resources*

- **[PASS]** No render-blocking resources detected

### Resource Hints (A+ — 95/100)

*24 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[INFO]** 1 URL(s) appear in multiple hints — The same href shouldn't appear in multiple hint rels -- one wins, the others are wasted markup and may confuse cache behavior. Sample: https://static.cdninstagram.com/rsrc.php/yR/r/92ZsVHNkyvf.webp (preload+preload).
- **[PASS]** Page uses 24 resource hint(s)

### HTTP/3 (QUIC) (A+ — 100/100)

*HTTP/3 advertised via Alt-Svc*

- **[PASS]** HTTP/3 (QUIC) is supported — First-load mobile users on cellular networks see meaningful latency improvements with HTTP/3. The QUIC transport collapses TLS + TCP handshakes into one and recovers faster from packet loss.

### Compression Algorithm (C — 70/100)

*Main response served uncompressed*

- **[INFO]** Main HTML response has no Content-Encoding (uncompressed) — The main HTML document is served without compression. The Text Compression section above lists the broader picture; for the main response specifically, even gzip would shave ~70-80% off most text payloads.

### LCP Image Preload (A+ — 100/100)

*LCP preload audit not available*

- **[PASS]** LCP image preload audit not available for this scan

### Main HTML Cache-Control (B — 80/100)

*No Cache-Control header on main HTML response*

- **[INFO]** Main HTML response has no Cache-Control header — Without an explicit Cache-Control, browsers fall back to heuristic caching (~10% of Last-Modified age). Set `Cache-Control: no-cache` or `max-age=300` for HTML to control freshness explicitly -- prevents stale auth state and SPA shell drift.

### Server-Timing Observability (B — 85/100)

*No Server-Timing header found*

- **[INFO]** No Server-Timing header found — Server-Timing exposes backend timing breakdowns to browser DevTools (e.g., `db: 45ms; render: 120ms; cache: 2ms`). Useful for diagnosing slow pages without backend log access. Most modern frameworks (Next.js, Cloudflare Workers, Fastly) emit it automatically; absence on a managed platform usually means telemetry headers are stripped at the edge.

### Server Response Intelligence (A+ — 95/100)

*1 server-response signal(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** No `ETag` or `Last-Modified` -- conditional GET not supported — Without either header, browsers can't issue conditional GETs and refresh always re-downloads the full response body even when nothing changed. Add `ETag: "<hash>"` (or `Last-Modified: <date>`) on cacheable responses; the server returns 304 Not Modified when the client's cached copy is still valid, saving bandwidth.

### Page Weight Inventory (F — 15/100)

*44 resources · 2.4 MB · 1.5 MB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 2.4 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 1.4 MB
- **[INFO]** ~1.5 MB of savings available
- **[WARNING]** 43 third-party resources (100% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 2 resources over 200KB

### Render-Blocking Resources (A+ — 100/100)

*No render-blocking resources detected*

- **[PASS]** No render-blocking resources detected in <head>

### Third-Party Resources (A+ — 100/100)

*No third-party resources detected*


### JavaScript Blocking (B — 70/100)

*2 JS blocking issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 16 render-blocking <script src> tag(s) without async/defer — Each `<script src=...>` without `async`, `defer`, or `type="module"` blocks HTML parsing while the browser fetches and executes it. The block lasts the entire round-trip + execution time -- on slow networks this translates directly into LCP delay. Add `defer` (executes after parse, in source order) for scripts that interact with the DOM, or `async` (executes whenever ready) for analytics / independent scripts. Module scripts (`type="module"`) are deferred by default.
- **[WARNING]** Total JS execution time is 3.6 s -- over the 3.5s budget — Total JavaScript execution (parse + compile + run) across all scripts exceeds 3.5 seconds. On low-end devices that becomes 7-15+ seconds and shows up directly in TBT and INP. Reduce by: tree-shaking unused dependencies, code-splitting (dynamic `import()`), removing or deferring third-party tracking, and replacing heavy frameworks where they're not needed.

### CSS Performance Depth (A+ — 100/100)

*No CSS performance depth issues detected*

- **[PASS]** No CSS performance depth issues detected

### Mixed Content (A+ — 100/100)

*No mixed content detected — all resources use HTTPS.*

- **[PASS]** No mixed content detected — all resources use HTTPS

### Open Graph (C — 75/100)

*Open Graph tags are partially configured — some improvements recommended.*

- **[WARNING]** Missing og:description — The og:description tag controls the description in social sharing previews.
- **[INFO]** og:title is short (9 characters) — Ideal length is 25–60 characters for social sharing previews.
- **[INFO]** Missing og:type — The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.
- **[INFO]** Missing twitter:card — Without twitter:card, Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags. Adding it gives you more control.

### Open Graph / Twitter Card Depth (A+ — 100/100)

*OG image dimensions and Twitter card configuration look healthy*

- **[PASS]** OG/Twitter Card depth is clean -- dimensions, card type, and inheritance all valid

### Structured Data (C — 40/100)

*No structured data (JSON-LD) found.*

- **[INFO]** No structured data (JSON-LD) found — Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

### Rich Results Eligibility (C — 75/100)

*No JSON-LD found -- no rich-result eligibility*

- **[INFO]** No JSON-LD structured data on the page — No `<script type="application/ld+json">` blocks found. Without structured data, search engines fall back to inferring page meaning from raw HTML -- which works but doesn't unlock SERP features (rich snippets, knowledge panel, FAQ accordion, breadcrumb trail). Adding even basic JSON-LD (Organization for the site identity, BreadcrumbList for navigation context) is a low-effort SEO win.

### Reverse DNS (B — 75/100)

*0/2 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR for 57.144.16.34 does not match any cert SAN: instagram-p42-shv-02-cdg4.fbcdn.net — Common when behind a CDN or shared hosting (PTR points at the provider's hostname). Mismatch can also affect mail deliverability if this IP sends email -- many MTAs reject mail when forward+reverse DNS disagree.
- **[INFO]** PTR for 2a03:2880:f307:22:face:b00c:0:4420 does not match any cert SAN: instagram-p426-shv-02-cdg4.fbcdn.net — Common when behind a CDN or shared hosting (PTR points at the provider's hostname).

*instagram.com — via RegistrarSafe, LLC, 22 years, 6 months old*

- **[PASS]** Domain registered until Jun 4, 2034 (7 years, 10 months remaining)
- **[INFO]** DNSSEC is not enabled — DNSSEC protects against DNS spoofing attacks. While not required, enabling DNSSEC adds an additional layer of security. Contact your DNS provider to enable it.
- **[PASS]** Registrar: RegistrarSafe, LLC
- **[WARNING]** Registrar lock is NOT enabled — The domain can be transferred without an unlock step. Enable registrar lock (clientTransferProhibited) in your registrar's control panel to protect against unauthorized or accidental transfers.

## Availability

### CDN & Delivery (D — 50/100)

*No CDN detected*

- **[WARNING]** No CDN detected — A CDN can significantly improve load times for users around the world by caching content at edge nodes closer to them.

### HTTP Caching (F — 30/100)

*No cache headers*

- **[WARNING]** No Cache-Control header found — Browsers will use heuristic caching, which can be unpredictable. Set explicit cache headers.

### Operational Status Page (B — 80/100)

*No status page link detected*

- **[INFO]** No operational status page link detected — Status pages communicate planned maintenance and incidents to users -- a hallmark of operationally-mature services. Most SaaS teams publish one via Atlassian Statuspage, Instatus, BetterUptime, or a self-hosted Cachet. Smaller sites legitimately don't need one; flagged as Info, not a failure.

### Transport Security (A+ — 100/100)

*HTTP/3, HSTS, and TLS version analysis*

- **[PASS]** HTTP/3 (QUIC) supported — The server advertises HTTP/3 via Alt-Svc for faster connections on mobile networks.
- **[PASS]** HSTS enabled (includeSubDomains, preload)
- **[PASS]** HSTS preload enabled
- **[PASS]** TLS 1.3 in use (fastest handshake, 1-RTT)

### Health Check Endpoint (B — 80/100)

*No conventional health endpoint found*

- **[INFO]** No conventional health endpoint found — Health endpoints (/health, /healthz, /status, /ping, /api/health) let uptime monitors, load balancers, and orchestration systems (Kubernetes, ECS, Fly.io) verify the service is alive. Marketing sites and small services often skip them legitimately; flagged as Info, not a failure. Probe results: /api/health: 404, /health: 429, /healthz: 429, /ping: 429, /status: 429.

### CDN Cache Observability (B — 85/100)

*No CDN cache-status headers in the response*

- **[INFO]** No CDN cache-status headers in the response — Without an X-Cache / CF-Cache-Status / X-Vercel-Cache / Age header, you can't tell from outside whether a request hit the cache or went to origin. Operationally important: enables debugging stale-content reports and verifying cache rules. Most managed CDN platforms emit at least one of these by default; absence often means the platform's diagnostic headers are stripped at an upstream proxy.

## Accessibility

### Landmark Structure (D — 45/100)

*1 landmarks*

- **[CRITICAL]** No <main> landmark found — Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to the primary content. Wrap your main content in <main>.
- **[WARNING]** No <nav> landmark found
- **[INFO]** No banner (header) landmark
- **[WARNING]** Skip navigation link is missing (WCAG 2.4.1) — Add a skip link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation.

### Heading Hierarchy (B — 80/100)

*No headings*

- **[WARNING]** No headings found — Headings (H1-H6) create the document outline for screen reader navigation.

### Heading Text Quality (A+ — 100/100)

*No headings to evaluate -- check is N/A*

- **[PASS]** No headings to evaluate -- check is N/A

### Alt Text Quality (A+ — 100/100)

*No images*

- **[PASS]** No images on this page

### Form Accessibility (A — 85/100)

*1 of 4 controls have issues*

- **[CRITICAL]** 1 control(s) without accessible label — Form controls need a <label>, aria-label, or aria-labelledby for screen readers.
- **[PASS]** 3 control(s) properly labeled

### Link & Button Quality (B — 78/100)

*1 issue(s) across 17 links and 1 buttons*

- **[WARNING]** 9 link(s) open in new tab without warning — Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.
- **[CRITICAL]** 1 button(s) with no accessible text — Icon-only buttons need an aria-label so screen readers can announce them.
- **[PASS]** 8 link(s) with descriptive text

### Form Input Types (A+ — 95/100)

*1 input(s) using type=text where a specific type would help*

- **[INFO]** Input "email" should use type="email" (currently type="text") — Field name "email" suggests type="email". Wrong type loses mobile keyboard hints, browser autofill, and free format validation. Change to <input type="email">.

### Form Input Quality (B — 82/100)

*2 input-semantic issue(s) across 4 form control(s)*

- **[INFO]** 1 password field(s) missing or with invalid `autocomplete` — Password managers fill / save passwords only when `autocomplete` is exactly `current-password` (login) or `new-password` (registration / change). Empty, `off`, `password`, or other values silently disable the manager UX. Sample: <input type="password" name="pass">.
- **[INFO]** 1 login form field(s) missing `autocomplete=username` (or `email`) — On a page with a password input, the matching username / email field needs `autocomplete="username"` or `autocomplete="email"` -- otherwise the password manager can't identify which field carries the login identifier and silently skips autofill on the whole form. Sample: <input type="text" name="email">.

### Mobile Keyboard & Autofill (A+ — 100/100)

*All 1 eligible field(s) carry autocomplete/inputmode*

- **[PASS]** All 1 eligible field(s) carry autocomplete/inputmode

- **[PASS]** prefers-color-scheme CSS detected in inline styles
- **[INFO]** Detection limited to meta tags and inline styles — External CSS files may contain prefers-color-scheme rules not visible to this scan.

### Print Stylesheet (D — 40/100)

*No print styles*

- **[INFO]** No print-specific styles detected — When users print this page, they get the screen layout including navigation and non-essential elements. Add @media print rules to hide navigation and optimize layout for paper.

### Navigation UX (F — 0/100)

*2 mobile-depth signal(s) detected*

- **[PASS]** Browser-chrome `theme-color` meta tag present — The page sets `<meta name="theme-color" content="...">`, which Android Chrome uses to tint the status bar and iOS Safari uses for the toolbar background. Brand polish that costs nothing and Just Works.
- **[PASS]** Viewport `viewport-fit=cover` -- supports notched / dynamic-island devices — The viewport meta declares `viewport-fit=cover`, which lets the page draw into the safe-area edges (notch, dynamic island, home indicator) on iPhone X+ devices. Pair with `env(safe-area-inset-*)` CSS to keep critical UI inside the inset rectangle while letting backgrounds extend edge-to-edge.

- **[INFO]** Green hosting status based on known provider commitments — Green hosting detection uses a curated database of provider renewable energy commitments. This is not a real-time verification. For authoritative checks, visit thegreenwebfoundation.org.

### Repeat Visit Weight (A+ — 100/100)

*95% cached*

- **[PASS]** 95% reduction on repeat visits — Returning visitors download only 116 KB (vs 2469 KB first visit). 43 of 44 resources are served from browser cache, saving 0.65g CO2 per repeat visit.

### Carbon Budget (D — 50/100)

*52th percentile*

- **[WARNING]** 0.68g CO2 — above the median website (0.60g) — Heavier than an estimated 48% of websites. Reducing page weight, optimizing images, and removing unused JavaScript would lower the carbon footprint. See the Performance tab.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 52th percentile — Compared to: top 10% = 0.20g, target = 0.50g, median = 0.60g per page view.

### Transfer Efficiency (F — 20/100)

*38% efficient*

- **[CRITICAL]** Transfer efficiency: 38% — An estimated 1540 KB (62%) could be eliminated: 0 KB via better compression, 0 KB via modern image formats, 1540 KB of unused JavaScript. This wasted data produces 0.43g of unnecessary CO2 per page view.

### Web Font Weight Variants (B — 90/100)

*No detectable Google Fonts weights*

- **[INFO]** No detectable Google Fonts weights — The analyzer detects font weights via Google Fonts URL parameters (~70% of font-using sites). Self-hosted fonts and non-Google CDN fonts aren't visible to URL-based detection. If you self-host fonts, manually audit how many @font-face weights you ship -- 2-3 weights per family is typically enough; 5+ is usually unused payload.
