Top Priorities (5)
Content-Security-Policy header is missing
Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything your users type — including credentials.
HSTS header is missing
Without HSTS, a network attacker can downgrade the very first connection to HTTP and steal the user's session.
No Content-Security-Policy header found
Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything users type — credentials, payment data, session tokens.
Page weighs 8.0 MB (5.0 MB transferred)
Informational: total page weight (uncompressed) and bytes actually transferred over the wire.
No <main> landmark found
Without a <main> landmark, screen-reader users can't skip past the navigation to the page content — every page starts with re-reading the menu.
Business case
What fixing the audit's findings is worth -- and what ignoring them keeps costing.
Return on investment
CAD 610 investment → CAD 9,785/month returns + CAD 350,000 risk avoided
Figures combine localized regulatory fine ceilings, search/conversion value priced against local CPC, and bandwidth waste estimates. Results depend on implementation quality and audience composition. Not legal or financial advice.
Conversion barriers
8 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~35%.
- Page takes 29.4s to loadUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 26.9s over the 2.5s threshold→ Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
- Mixed content on HTTPS pageBrowsers block insecure subresources — broken images, missing scripts, warning badge→ Change http:// URLs inside the page to https:// (or protocol-relative)
- Severe layout shift during page loadUsers mis-click when content jumps — converting intent into frustration→ Reserve space for images, ads, and embeds with explicit width/height
- 60 broken link(s) on the pageClicks land on 404s — trust drops and the session often ends→ Fix or remove the broken destinations surfaced on the Content tab
- High main-thread blocking timePage is non-interactive for 452ms after first paint→ Defer third-party scripts and split large bundles
Preliminary CRO audit — each barrier links to the tab with detailed analysis.

Observations (8)
Server version exposed in headers
The Server header reveals 'Apache 2.4.37'. Exposing exact server versions helps attackers target known vulnerabilities. Consider configuring your server to hide version information.
Runtime exposed via X-Powered-By header
The X-Powered-By header reveals 'PHP 7.4.33'. Remove this header in production to reduce information leakage.
WordPress detected — review security configuration
WordPress sites benefit from: protecting wp-login.php, disabling XML-RPC if unused, restricting REST API access, and keeping all plugins and themes up to date. Check the Security tab for specific findings.
No build tool detected
A framework (Apple) 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.
Bootstrap version may be outdated
Detected Bootstrap 4.6.2. The current major version is 5. Consider updating for security patches and new features.
jQuery version may be outdated
Detected jQuery 1.12.4. The current major version is 3. Consider updating for security patches and new features.
PHP version may be outdated
Detected PHP 7.4.33. The current major version is 8. Consider updating for security patches and new features.
Complex technology stack detected
36 technologies identified. A complex stack increases maintenance burden and attack surface. Consider whether all components are actively needed.
