## Security

### Security Headers (F — 20/100)

*2 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[WARNING]** HSTS is enabled but max-age is short (15768000s, should be >= 31536000s) — The header is present and enforced, so first-visit protection is already in place; a short max-age just means the browser forgets it sooner. Set max-age to at least 31536000 (1 year).
- **[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
- **[INFO]** Domain is not in the Chrome HSTS preload list (status: unknown) — Submit your domain to hstspreload.org to close the trust-on-first-use gap. Requires a preload-ready HSTS header (max-age=31536000+, includeSubDomains, preload).

### 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+ — 100/100)

*TLS 1.3, 8 checks passed*

- **[PASS]** TLS 1.3 is used
- **[PASS]** Strong cipher suite is used
- **[PASS]** HTTP/2 is negotiated
- **[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 52 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 3 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 3 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 (A — 90/100)

*Akamai*

- **[PASS]** Akamai detected — Detected via: akamai-grn: 0.9dd73b17.1793979577.3ecdf3eb

### security.txt (B — 70/100)

*Vulnerability disclosure policy*

- **[PASS]** security.txt found
- **[WARNING]** security.txt: Missing required 'Contact' field
- **[WARNING]** security.txt: Missing required 'Expires' field (RFC 9116)

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

*3 of 3 new-tab link(s) missing rel=noopener*

- **[WARNING]** 3 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 (C — 75/100)

*17 inline style attribute(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 17 inline style attribute(s) detected — Each `style=""` attribute forces `style-src 'unsafe-inline'` in any Content-Security-Policy, which negates most of CSP's XSS-mitigation value. 17 inline style(s) is moderate. Affected element types include: div, p, a. Move styles to a stylesheet; use CSS custom properties for runtime-dynamic values; or adopt a nonce/hash CSP policy. Most teams take the stylesheet path because it's also a maintainability win.

### 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 (0/7 third-party resources)*

- **[WARNING]** SRI adoption: 0/7 third-party resources protected (0%) — Of 7 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://corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info/files/vendor_libs_prd/linkedin/insight.min.js
  - https://corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info/files/intl_prd/mx_professional/379f26abac75/83447d1139b2/launch-683ee2ee48d7.min.js
  - https://corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info/files/intl_prd/mx_professional/379f26abac75/83447d1139b2/fe195113965f/EXfc50e26f2ba44258b61284790f459fa0-libraryCode_source.min.js
  - https://corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info/files/intl_prd/mx_professional/379f26abac75/83447d1139b2/fe195113965f/RC2b38a9a8162f454f87ca379c43da2917-source.min.js
  - https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-774648096&l=googleDataLayer

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 (A+ — 100/100)

*No redirect-shaped query parameters in DOM links*

- **[PASS]** No redirect-shaped query parameters in DOM links

### Auth Security (A+ — 100/100)

*Page is not a login form -- auth-security checks are N/A*

- **[PASS]** Page does not appear to be a login form

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

*No risky subdomain names in certificate SANs*

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

## Advanced Security

### Subresource Integrity (F — 20/100)

*0 of 7 external resources have SRI*

- **[WARNING]** External script from corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from www.googletagmanager.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from mdl-medallia-digital.vanguard.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from mdl-medallia-digital.vanguard.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.

### 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 (F — 0/100)

*no DMARC, no SPF*

- **[WARNING]** No DMARC record found — Without DMARC, email receivers have no policy for handling authentication failures. Add a TXT record at _dmarc.<domain> starting with v=DMARC1.
- **[WARNING]** No SPF record found — Without SPF (Sender Policy Framework), receivers can't tell which servers are authorized to send mail for your domain. Add a TXT record at the apex starting with v=spf1, ending in -all.
- **[INFO]** No DKIM detected via common selectors — DKIM signs outbound mail to prove origin. We probed common selectors (default, google, selector1, etc.) without finding a record. If you use a non-standard selector, this is a false negative.
- **[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)

*No header set*

- **[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 (F — 0/100)

*5.3 MB transferred, 99 requests*

- **[CRITICAL]** Page weighs 19.7 MB (5.3 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 4.4 MB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[INFO]** 99 HTTP requests
- **[INFO]** Estimated 1.1 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (A — 85/100)

*20% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[INFO]** Third-party code accounts for 20% of page weight (1.1 MiB of 5.3 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 (B — 75/100)

*9 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[PASS]** All images are well-optimized

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*13000ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.vanguardmexico.com/66185.36b250b847ba1...: 4141ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 2186ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.vanguardmexico.com/polyfills.0148e7ec5...: 1508ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/publicApi....: 1222ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.vanguardmexico.com/es/inicio: 944ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Third-party scripts: 2516ms (19% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*4 fonts (152 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 4 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (F — 20/100)

*55 scripts, 1.6 MB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.vanguardmexico.com/66185.36b250b847ba1...: 1.2 MB unused (45%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://fast.wistia.net/assets/external/engines/hl...: 121 KB unused (77%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/publicApi....: 62 KB unused (43%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-774...: 62 KB unused (41%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.vanguardmexico.com/28538.07f6a1b5f25d3...: 48 KB unused (49%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 1.6 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+ — 100/100)

*No optimization needed*

- **[PASS]** No resource hint issues

### HTTP/3 (QUIC) (B — 75/100)

*HTTP/3 not advertised*

- **[INFO]** HTTP/3 (QUIC) is not advertised — HTTP/3 isn't advertised via Alt-Svc and the worker didn't negotiate h3. HTTP/3 reduces handshake latency (1-RTT instead of 2-3 RTTs) and is more resilient on lossy connections. Most modern CDNs (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront, Google Cloud CDN) support HTTP/3 with a single config switch -- consider enabling for mobile-heavy workloads.

### Document Compression (C — 70/100)

*Document 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.

### Asset Compression (A — 90/100)

*1 of 1 asset host still on gzip*

- **[INFO]** corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info serves assets with gzip; brotli would be ~20% smaller (assets: 4) — Every current browser accepts brotli. On a CDN this is a per-pull-zone toggle (Cloudflare, Fastly, CloudFront, CDN77, Bunny all expose it); on an origin it needs the brotli module (nginx-brotli, Apache mod_brotli). The saving lands on the assets this host serves, not on the HTML document -- the document's own encoding is reported separately.

### 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 — 30/100)

*99 resources · 5.3 MB · 1.6 MB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 5.3 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 4.3 MB
- **[INFO]** ~1.6 MB of savings available
- **[INFO]** 49 third-party resources (20% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 3 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 (A — 90/100)

*1 JS blocking issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** Total JS execution time is 13.0 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 (B — 80/100)

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

- **[CRITICAL]** og:image is not reachable — The og:image URL could not be fetched. Social platforms won't be able to display it.
- **[INFO]** Missing og:type — The og:type tag helps social platforms categorize the content.
- **[INFO]** Missing og:site_name — The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.

### 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 (B — 85/100)

*2 JSON-LD block(s) found — some improvements recommended.*

- **[WARNING]** Missing or invalid @context in block #1 — The @context should be "https://schema.org" for search engines to recognize the data.
- **[PASS]** Custom type "VideoObject" — unable to validate specific properties
- **[PASS]** 2 JSON-LD blocks found

### Rich Results Eligibility (A+ — 100/100)

*2 JSON-LD block(s) declaring 2 schema type(s)*

- **[PASS]** SiteLinks Search Box markup detected — The page declares a `WebSite` schema with a `potentialAction` of `SearchAction`. This makes the homepage eligible for Google's in-SERP search box -- a high-visibility SERP feature for branded queries.
- **[PASS]** 2 rich-result schema type(s) declared — Inventory of structured-data types on the page (each may unlock a different SERP feature):

VideoObject, WebSite

Search engines decide whether to render rich results based on content quality + page-level signals; declaring the schema is necessary but not sufficient.

### Image Optimization (D — 60/100)

*4 issues found across 13 images*

- **[WARNING]** 13 images missing explicit width/height — Images without dimensions cause layout shifts (CLS). Set explicit width and height attributes.
- **[INFO]** 13 below-fold images missing loading="lazy" — Lazy loading defers below-fold images, reducing initial page weight.
- **[WARNING]** All 6 images use legacy formats (JPEG/PNG/GIF) — WebP offers 25-35% smaller files than JPEG. Use <picture> with <source type="image/webp"> for modern format support.
- **[INFO]** 3 image(s) rendered at a different aspect ratio than the source — The displayed dimensions distort the source -- CSS is forcing the image into a container at the wrong ratio, producing visible stretching or squashing. Either crop the source to match or use object-fit: cover (and accept the crop). Sample: https://www.vanguardmexico.com/content/mx-aem/mx/es/inicio/_jcr_content/root/responsivegrid/banner_feature_47939.coreimg.jpeg/1749052692454/1362874343-1200x600.jpeg, https://www.vanguardmexico.com/content/mx-aem/mx/es/inicio/_jcr_content/root/responsivegrid/banner_feature_1684478121.coreimg.jpeg/1749052554962/homepage-adv-advisorsalpha.jpeg, https://www.vanguardmexico.com/content/mx-aem/mx/es/inicio/_jcr_content/root/responsivegrid/banner_feature.coreimg.jpeg/1745291981313/home-contact-us-687x357.jpeg.

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (B — 80/100)

*2 A records, 33 ms lookup*

- **[PASS]** Resolves to 2 IPv4 address(es)
- **[INFO]** No IPv6 (AAAA) records
- **[WARNING]** CNAME record at zone apex — A CNAME at the zone apex can break MX and NS records. Use ALIAS/ANAME or A records instead.
- **[INFO]** No NS records found
- **[INFO]** No MX records — email not configured via DNS
- **[INFO]** No SPF record found in TXT records — SPF helps prevent email spoofing. Add a TXT record starting with 'v=spf1'.
- **[PASS]** DNS resolution time: 33 ms

### Subdomain Takeover (A+ — 100/100)

*No subdomain takeover risk detected*

- **[PASS]** CNAME does not point at a known takeover-able service

### DNSSEC (B — 80/100)

*Unsigned (DNSSEC not deployed)*

- **[INFO]** DNSSEC is not deployed — The zone is not DNSSEC-signed. Users on validating resolvers (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Quad9 9.9.9.9, growing default in mobile resolvers) get no protection against DNS spoofing for this domain. Most registrars now offer DNSSEC at a single click; consider enabling it for sites where authenticity matters (banking, healthcare, government).

### CAA Records (B — 80/100)

*No CAA records (any CA may issue certificates)*

- **[INFO]** No CAA records published — Without CAA records, any publicly-trusted CA can issue certificates for this domain. Adding a CAA record (`yourdomain. IN CAA 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"`) restricts issuance to CAs you authorize. Required by CAB Forum baseline since 2017; the default of 'any CA' is widely supported but is the broader attack surface for issuance fraud.

### Reverse DNS (B — 75/100)

*0/2 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR for 23.211.15.132 does not match any cert SAN: a23-211-15-132.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com — 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 23.211.15.157 does not match any cert SAN: a23-211-15-157.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com — 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.

- **[PASS]** Domain registered until Nov 10, 2028 (2 years 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: MarkMonitor Inc.
- **[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.
- **[PASS]** Hosting: Akamai

Required by EU Web Accessibility Directive 2016/2102 for public-sector bodies; recommended best practice elsewhere. Common URLs: /accessibility, /accessibility-statement, /a11y. Detection is by link URL and anchor text, in a limited set of languages, so this is an unconfirmed absence.

### GDPR Article 13 Disclosures (F — 25/100)

*0 / 8 Art. 13 categories matched in homepage body*

- **[WARNING]** GDPR Article 13 disclosure coverage: 0 / 8 categories — Scanned the homepage body text AND the linked /privacy page for GDPR Article 13 disclosures. Matched 0 of 8 categories: .

- **[PASS]** Copyright holder: VIGM

### Regulatory Indicators

*0 regulatory indicator(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** This is a technical scan, not a legal assessment — BeaverCheck detects technical indicators that may suggest regulatory relevance. This is not a compliance audit and should not be relied upon for legal decisions. Consult qualified legal counsel for compliance assessments.
- **[INFO]** No specific regulatory indicators detected — No strong signals for GDPR, CCPA, ADA, PCI, HIPAA, or COPPA were found. This does not mean these regulations don't apply — it means we didn't detect common technical indicators.

### Third-Party Data Sharing

*1 third-party service(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** Data inventory for transparency purposes — This inventory identifies third-party services that receive data from your site visitors. Under regulations like GDPR (Article 30), maintaining records of data processing activities is commonly considered a best practice. This automated scan provides a starting point — it may not capture all data flows.
- **[INFO]** 1 third-party services across 1 categories — 1 third-party services detected across 1 categories: Analytics (1). Each of these services receives some user data from your site visitors.
- **[INFO]** Google Analytics (Analytics) — Detected via script URL. Typically collects: Page views, User behavior, Demographics, Device info, IP address. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Data Processing Agreement available.

## Availability

### CDN & Delivery (B — 80/100)

*Document on Akamai; assets also on AWS CloudFront*

- **[PASS]** Document is served via Akamai CDN
- **[PASS]** Assets on AWS CloudFront: corp.etm.assets.vgdynamic.info (assets: 4), cache RefreshHit from cloudfront

### 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 (B — 75/100)

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

- **[INFO]** HTTP/3 (QUIC) not advertised — HTTP/3 eliminates head-of-line blocking. If your CDN supports it, consider enabling it.
- **[WARNING]** HSTS max-age is short: 182 days — HSTS max-age should be at least 1 year (31536000 seconds).
- **[PASS]** TLS 1.3 in use (fastest handshake, 1-RTT)

### Health Check Endpoint (A+ — 100/100)

*Health endpoint at https://www.vanguardmexico.com/health (HTTP 200)*

### 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 (B — 80/100)

*4 landmarks*

- **[PASS]** <main> landmark present
- **[PASS]** 1 <nav> landmark(s) 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 — 75/100)

*23 headings, 1 skip(s)*

- **[WARNING]** Multiple H1 headings (2 found) — A page should have only one H1. Multiple H1s dilute the document outline.
- **[WARNING]** Heading level skipped: H1 → H3 (missing H2) — Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.

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

*All 23 heading(s) have substantive, well-formed text*

- **[PASS]** Heading text quality is clean -- no placeholder, length, or styling issues

### Link & Button Quality (B — 73/100)

*2 issue(s) across 57 links and 27 buttons*

- **[CRITICAL]** 1 link(s) with no accessible text — Links without text are announced as raw URLs by screen readers.
- **[WARNING]** 1 link(s) with generic text — Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.
- **[WARNING]** 5 link(s) open in new tab without warning — Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.
- **[PASS]** 50 link(s) with descriptive text

### Form Input Types (A+ — 100/100)

*1 form control(s) checked, no type mismatches*

### Tabindex Anti-Patterns (A+ — 95/100)

*0 positive, 1 -1-on-focusable*

- **[INFO]** tabindex="-1" on naturally-focusable <button> — tabindex="-1" removes an element from the keyboard tab order. Naturally-focusable elements (links, buttons, form controls) become unreachable for keyboard users. (Common false-positive: hidden honeypot fields. Verify the element is genuinely interactive before removing the tabindex.)

### Iframe Accessibility (A — 90/100)

*1/3 iframe(s) missing title; 0 placeholder(s)*

- **[WARNING]** <iframe> missing title attribute (src="https://9586941.fls.doubleclick.net/activityi;u1=prod;u7=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vang…") — WCAG 4.1.2: iframes need a title attribute so screen readers can announce what's embedded. Without one, the announcement is just "iframe" -- the user has no way to decide whether to enter or skip.

### Tap Target Adequacy (A+ — 100/100)

*All tap targets meet WCAG 2.5.5/2.5.8 sizing*

- **[PASS]** All tap targets meet WCAG 2.5.5 (44x44px) sizing

### Dark Mode Support (D — 40/100)

*No dark mode signals*

- **[INFO]** No dark mode signals detected — Consider adding CSS with @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) and <meta name='color-scheme' content='light dark'>.
- **[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 — 20/100)

*No navigation patterns*

- **[PASS]** 1 navigation landmark(s) detected
- **[PASS]** Hamburger menu detected (responsive design)
- **[INFO]** No breadcrumbs, search, or skip link detected — These navigation aids help users orient themselves and find content efficiently, especially on large sites.

### Mobile UX Depth (A+ — 97/100)

*1 mobile-depth signal(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** No `<meta name="theme-color">` -- browser chrome falls back to default — Without `theme-color`, Android Chrome's status bar and iOS Safari's toolbar fall back to a generic gray. Adding a single hex color in `<meta name="theme-color" content="#0066cc">` tints them to your brand color across all mobile browsers.

## SEO

### Canonical URL (B — 80/100)

*Minor issues*

- **[PASS]** Canonical tag present
- **[PASS]** Canonical is self-referencing
- **[PASS]** Canonical matches final URL after redirects
- **[CRITICAL]** Canonical target returns 403 — Search engines cannot follow this canonical, effectively orphaning this page.

### Meta Tags (A — 90/100)

*Title optimized*

- **[PASS]** Page title is set
- **[PASS]** Title length (57 chars) is optimal
- **[INFO]** Meta description is 170 characters — truncated on mobile (~160 char limit)

### Title Style Depth (A+ — 100/100)

*Title style is clean -- consistent separator, no stale year, no keyword stuffing*

- **[PASS]** Title style is clean

### Content Depth (A — 85/100)

*2019 words, Very Difficult*

- **[PASS]** Page has 2019 words — good depth for search engines
- **[INFO]** Text-to-HTML ratio is 3% — Very low ratio suggests heavy framework overhead or boilerplate.

- **[PASS]** No hreflang tags found -- completeness check is N/A

### Sitemap Freshness (C — 70/100)

*Sitemap exists but no <lastmod> entries*

- **[INFO]** Sitemap has no <lastmod> entries — Without lastmod, Google can't tell which URLs have changed since the last crawl -- it falls back to crawling everything periodically. Adding lastmod (date or ISO 8601 timestamp) on each <url> entry signals freshness so the crawler prioritizes recently-modified pages.

### Sitemap × Robots Consistency (A+ — 100/100)

*No sitemap-vs-robots conflicts detected*

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

*99% cached*

- **[PASS]** 99% reduction on repeat visits — Returning visitors download only 71 KB (vs 5390 KB first visit). 95 of 99 resources are served from browser cache, saving 1.47g CO2 per repeat visit.
- **[INFO]** Repeat visit: 0.02g CO2 (first visit: 1.49g)

### Carbon Budget (F — 30/100)

*75th percentile*

- **[WARNING]** 1.49g CO2 — above the median website (0.60g) — Heavier than an estimated 25% of websites. Reducing page weight, optimizing images, and removing unused JavaScript would lower the carbon footprint. See the Performance tab.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 75th percentile — Compared to: top 10% = 0.20g, target = 0.50g, median = 0.60g per page view.

### Transfer Efficiency (C — 60/100)

*69% efficient*

- **[WARNING]** Transfer efficiency: 69% — An estimated 1687 KB (31%) could be eliminated: 0 KB via better compression, 0 KB via modern image formats, 1687 KB of unused JavaScript. This wasted data produces 0.47g 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.
