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

Cookie 'AWSALB' is missing the Secure flag

A cookie without the Secure flag can leak over HTTP — in HSTS-protected sites, this is still a defense-in-depth gap.

Security › Cookie Security
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
Warning: 4

55 third-party resources (100% of weight)

Informational: third-party resource count and their share of page weight. High share caps perf gains from frontend optimization.

Performance › Page Weight Inventory
Warning: 5

Cookie 'AWSALB' has no SameSite attribute

Without SameSite, cookies ride along on cross-site requests — enabling CSRF attacks that SameSite=Lax blocks for free.

Security › Cookie Security
What fixing these means. Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Your LCP of 6.1s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. The 4 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.
4 security gaps detected — browsers may warn visitors about your site.
Your LCP is 6.1s — fixing the 1 performance critical could bring it under Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold.

  • 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
  • Content is hard to read

Observations (2)

No build tool detected

A framework (Amazon ALB) 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

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