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

1 button(s) with no accessible text

Buttons with no accessible text (icon-only, no aria-label) can't be activated by voice control or understood by screen readers.

Accessibility › Link & Button Quality
Critical: 3

67 image(s) missing alt attribute

Each image without alt text is a WCAG 1.1.1 failure — invisible to screen-reader users, lost from Google Image Search.

Accessibility › Alt Text Quality
Critical: 4

67 image-in-link without alt text

Image-only links with no alt create empty links — screen-reader users hear 'link' with no destination context.

Accessibility › Alt Text Quality
Critical: 5

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
What fixing these means. Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
1 security gap detected — browsers may warn visitors about your site.
4 accessibility issues exclude users who rely on assistive technology.

  • Page takes 18.2s to load
    Users abandon at ~3s — you're 15.7s over the 2.5s threshold
    → Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
  • Page feels frozen for 4.0s
    Clicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs
    → Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration
  • Severe layout shift during page load
    Users mis-click when content jumps — converting intent into frustration
    → Reserve space for images, ads, and embeds with explicit width/height
  • 4 broken link(s) on the page
    Clicks land on 404s — trust drops and the session often ends
    → Fix or remove the broken destinations surfaced on the Content tab
  • 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
