## Security

### Security Headers (B — 70/100)

*7 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[PASS]** HSTS is enabled with preload
- **[PASS]** X-Content-Type-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** X-Frame-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Referrer-Policy is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Permissions-Policy is set
- **[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 present without version info
- **[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, 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 37 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 3 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 2 domain(s)
- **[PASS]** Certificate is issued by a trusted CA

### Cookie Security (B — 80/100)

*1 cookies analyzed, 1 checks passed*

- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'cookiesession1' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'cookiesession1' has the HttpOnly flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'cookiesession1' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.

### Cookie Hygiene (A+ — 100/100)

*All 1 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks*

- **[PASS]** All 1 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks

### 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 (D — 60/100)

*145 of 145 new-tab link(s) missing rel=noopener*

- **[WARNING]** 145 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 (D — 60/100)

*90 inline style attribute(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 90 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. 90 inline style(s) is high. Affected element types include: h3, div, ul, li, form. 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)

*No soft-404 patterns detected in page title or headings*

- **[PASS]** No soft-404 patterns detected in page title or headings

### 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 (B — 70/100)

*30% SRI adoption (4/13 third-party resources)*

- **[INFO]** SRI adoption: 4/13 third-party resources protected (30%) — Of 13 third-party `<script>` / `<link rel=stylesheet>` resources, 4 (30%) 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://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,100..900;1,100..900&display=swap
  - https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/swiper/swiper-bundle.min.css
  - https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fancyapps/ui@4.0/dist/fancybox.css
  - https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js
  - https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=PT+Sans:ital,wght@0,400;0,700;1,400;1,700&family=Source+Code+Pro:ital,wght@0,200..900;1,200..900&family=Source+Sans+3:ital,wght@0,200..900;1,200..900&display=swap

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 — 90/100)

*1 CORS depth signal(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** CORS allows any origin (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`) — Any website can fetch this URL via JavaScript and read the response body. Acceptable for genuinely public APIs (e.g. CDN-served static assets). Risky if the URL returns user-specific or session-derived data, since other origins can scrape it via the user's browser without needing credentials. Narrow Allow-Origin to a specific origin allow-list when the response is sensitive.

### Permissions-Policy Granularity (D — 50/100)

*30% high-risk feature coverage (3/10)*

- **[WARNING]** Permissions-Policy covers 3/10 high-risk features (30%) — The Permissions-Policy header explicitly declares policies for 3/10 high-risk features.

Covered: camera, microphone, geolocation

Not declared (default-allow): payment, usb, serial, midi, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer

The non-declared features fall back to their spec-default policy (usually `self`), which means an XSS-injected or compromised iframe could request them. For features the page genuinely doesn't use, declare `feature=()` to fully close them.

### Referrer-Policy Strictness (D — 50/100)

*Referrer-Policy is `no-referrer-when-downgrade` (leaky -- legacy default that sends full URL cross-origin on HTTPS-to-HTTPS)*

- **[WARNING]** Referrer-Policy: `no-referrer-when-downgrade` -- leaky -- legacy default that sends full URL cross-origin on HTTPS-to-HTTPS — The legacy browser default (Chrome <85, Firefox <87). Sends the full URL (path + query) Referer on cross-origin requests as long as the protocol doesn't downgrade. This means session IDs, tracking tokens, search queries, etc. embedded in URLs leak to every third-party HTTPS origin the page links to or embeds. Switch to `strict-origin-when-cross-origin`.

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

*No source maps accessible (probed 4 candidate URL(s))*

- **[PASS]** No source maps accessible across 4 probed candidate(s)

### HTML Version Disclosure (C — 75/100)

*1 software version(s) disclosed in HTML*

- **[WARNING]** 1 software version(s) disclosed in HTML: Elementor 3.33.4; features: additional_custom_breakpoints; settings: css_print_method-internal, google_font-enabled, font_display-auto — Each disclosed version enables direct CVE lookup -- an attacker who knows you run WordPress 6.4.2 (or whatever specific version) can search the CVE database for known exploits and target accordingly. Remove via your CMS config: WordPress (`remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator')`); Drupal (System / Reports / Status report -> Hide generator); Joomla (Global Configuration -> Hide generator); Hugo/Jekyll (delete or override the {{ .Site.Generator }} template hook). For HTML comments, audit your template files directly.

### 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

*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 — 88/100)

*DMARC: quarantine, SPF: -all, DKIM, BIMI*

- **[PASS]** DMARC policy is quarantine — good protection
- **[PASS]** SPF ends in -all (hard fail) — strongest setting
- **[PASS]** DKIM configured (selectors: google)
- **[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>.
- **[PASS]** BIMI configured and DMARC enforced — logo will display

### 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 (B — 75/100)

*3 directives, 2 missing*

- **[PASS]** geolocation=() — blocked for all origins
- **[PASS]** microphone=() — blocked for all origins
- **[PASS]** camera=() — blocked for all origins
- **[INFO]** payment not restricted — Consider adding payment=() to block payment access from embedded content.
- **[INFO]** usb not restricted — Consider adding usb=() to block usb access from embedded content.

### CORS Configuration (C — 60/100)

*Origin: **

- **[INFO]** Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * — unrestricted — Any website can read this resource's response. Appropriate for public APIs but not for user-specific content.
- **[INFO]** Origin reflection not testable with a single request — Some servers reflect the request Origin header. This requires manual testing with a crafted Origin header.

## Performance

### Page Weight Budget (F — 0/100)

*44.8 MB transferred, 132 requests*

- **[CRITICAL]** Page weighs 45.9 MB (44.8 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** Images are 42.9 MB — compress or use modern formats — Convert images to WebP/AVIF and resize to display dimensions to reduce transfer size.
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 918 KB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[INFO]** CSS is 414 KB — consider purging unused styles — Remove unused CSS rules with tools like PurgeCSS to reduce stylesheet size.
- **[WARNING]** 132 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing — Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 9.4 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (A+ — 100/100)

*5% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[INFO]** Third-party code accounts for 5% of page weight (2.4 MiB of 44.8 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 (C — 60/100)

*85 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[WARNING]** https://sau.int/wp-content/themes/sau/ae/images/sa... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

- **[WARNING]** https://sau.int/wp-content/themes/sau/ae/images/lo... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*8784ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/swiper/swiper-bundle....: 3194ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 2384ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://sau.int/: 2338ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-180...: 349ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** https://sau.int/wp-content/themes/sau/ae/js/main.j...: 196ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Third-party scripts: 3812ms (43% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*8 fonts (138 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 8 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (F — 20/100)

*17 scripts, 523 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.gstatic.com/recaptcha/releases/NhfdZHz...: 250 KB unused (71%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-180...: 63 KB unused (40%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.

- **[WARNING]** https://sau.int/wp-content/themes/sau/assets/jquer...: 52 KB unused (60%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://sau.int/wp-content/themes/sau/assets/boots...: 29 KB unused (75%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 523 KB

### 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)

*4 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[INFO]** 2 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://fonts.gstatic.com (preconnect+preconnect), https://fonts.googleapis.com (preconnect+preconnect).
- **[PASS]** Page uses 4 resource hint(s)

### 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 (B — 75/100)

*1 of 2 asset hosts serve text uncompressed*

- **[PASS]** cdn.jsdelivr.net serves assets with brotli (assets: 9)
- **[WARNING]** fonts.googleapis.com serves text assets uncompressed (assets: 4) — The sampled response carries a text content type but no Content-Encoding, so the bytes go over the wire raw. Text compression typically removes 70-80% of a JS or CSS payload -- this is the single cheapest transfer win available on this host.

### 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 (C — 70/100)

*Main HTML max-age=172800 (~2880min) is aggressive*

- **[WARNING]** Main HTML cached for 2880 minutes -- risks stale auth / SPA state — Long max-age on the main HTML document means users may see outdated auth state, SPA shells, or A/B variants until the cache expires. Consider Cache-Control: no-cache (or max-age=300) for HTML and let your hashed assets (JS/CSS/images) carry the long cache instead.

### 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)

*2 server-response signal(s) detected*

- **[PASS]** `Vary` header declared: User-Agent,Accept-Encoding — The page declares a `Vary` header, telling downstream caches which request headers the response varies on. Critical for content-negotiated responses (compression, language, cookies, device class).
- **[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 (D — 50/100)

*132 resources · 44.8 MB · 523 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 44.8 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 43.8 MB
- **[INFO]** ~523 KB of savings available
- **[INFO]** 22 third-party resources (5% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 54 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]** 5 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 8.8 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 — 88/100)

*1 CSS depth issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 15 render-blocking stylesheet(s) -- recommended: <=3 — Each `<link rel="stylesheet">` without a non-blocking `media` attribute holds up the first paint. Browsers download all of them before painting any content. Consolidate into 1-2 critical-path stylesheets; defer non-critical CSS via `<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" onload="this.media='all'">` or via the loadCSS pattern; inline above-the-fold CSS in `<style>` to short-circuit the request entirely.

### Mixed Content (A+ — 100/100)

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

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

### Open Graph (F — 0/100)

*No Open Graph tags found — social sharing previews will be generic.*

- **[WARNING]** No Open Graph meta tags found — Without og:title, og:description, and og:image, social media platforms will generate a generic preview when your page is shared.

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

*No OG image or Twitter card set -- depth check is N/A (presence covered by Open Graph section)*

- **[PASS]** No OG image / Twitter card to evaluate

### 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.

### Image Optimization (F — 20/100)

*8 issues found across 96 images*

- **[WARNING]** 22 images significantly larger than display size — Resizing to display dimensions could save approximately 7596 KB.
- **[WARNING]** 96 images missing explicit width/height — Images without dimensions cause layout shifts (CLS). Set explicit width and height attributes.
- **[INFO]** 92 below-fold images missing loading="lazy" — Lazy loading defers below-fold images, reducing initial page weight.
- **[INFO]** 94 of 96 images use legacy formats
- **[WARNING]** 10 images missing alt text — Alt text is essential for screen readers and SEO. Every meaningful image needs descriptive alt text.
- **[WARNING]** Total image weight: 34001 KB (33.2 MB) — Consider compressing images, using modern formats, and serving appropriately sized images.
- **[INFO]** 10 image(s) wider than 400px without srcset (no responsive serving) — These images deliver the same asset to every viewport (mobile, tablet, retina). Adding srcset / <picture> lets the browser pick a viewport-appropriate variant and typically saves 40-70% of bytes on mobile. Sample: https://sau.int/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/1000950300.jpg, https://sau.int/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ritu-lab2.png, https://sau.int/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/rere.png (+7 more).
- **[INFO]** 10 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://sau.int/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/1000950300.jpg, https://sau.int/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/47088.jpg, https://sau.int/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/no-people-office-with-multiple-computers-customer-service-desk-call-center-helpline-support-give-telecommunication-assistance-empty-helpdesk-with-client-telephony-reception.jpg (+7 more).

### Autoplay Media (A+ — 100/100)

*No autoplay media on the page*

- **[PASS]** No autoplay media on the page

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (A — 85/100)

*1 A records, 466 ms lookup*

- **[PASS]** Resolves to 1 IPv4 address(es)
- **[INFO]** Single A record — no DNS redundancy — Multiple A records provide failover if one server goes down.
- **[INFO]** No IPv6 (AAAA) records
- **[PASS]** 2 nameserver(s) configured
- **[PASS]** 7 mail exchanger(s) configured
- **[PASS]** SPF record present in TXT
- **[WARNING]** DNS resolution is slow (466 ms) — Slow DNS adds latency to every page load. Consider a faster DNS provider.

### Subdomain Takeover (A+ — 100/100)

*No subdomain takeover risk detected*

- **[PASS]** No CNAME record present

### 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*issue: sectigo.com, letsencrypt.org, digicert.com | iodef configured*

- **[PASS]** CAA issue tag present — authorized CA(s): sectigo.com, letsencrypt.org, digicert.com
- **[PASS]** CAA iodef tag present (failed-issuance notifications enabled)

### Reverse DNS (B — 75/100)

*0/1 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR for 103.243.237.41 does not match any cert SAN: w2.sau.int — 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.

### Multi-Resolver DNS Speed (D — 50/100)

*Mean 569ms across 3 resolvers (spread 1281ms)*

- **[PASS]** Quad9: 1ms
- **[PASS]** Google: 424ms
- **[PASS]** Cloudflare: 1282ms
- **[INFO]** High latency spread between resolvers: 1281ms (min 1ms / max 1282ms) — Wide gap between the fastest and slowest public resolver suggests a geographic anycast issue or an authoritative-server cache problem. Users in different regions will see materially different DNS times.

### Redirect Chain (A+ — 100/100)

*No redirects — direct access*

- **[PASS]** No redirects — direct access

### IPv6 Readiness (C — 60/100)

*No IPv6 support*

- **[INFO]** No IPv6 (AAAA) records found — IPv6 support is increasingly important for global accessibility. About 40% of internet users have IPv6 connectivity.

### Crawlability (A+ — 95/100)

*robots.txt present, sitemap with 21 URLs*

- **[PASS]** robots.txt is present
- **[PASS]** sitemap.xml is present
- **[PASS]** sitemap.xml is valid XML
- **[PASS]** sitemap.xml contains 21 entries
- **[PASS]** Sitemap index with 21 child sitemaps
- **[INFO]** robots.txt does not reference a sitemap — Add a 'Sitemap:' directive to robots.txt so search engines can discover your sitemap.

### URL Variants (A+ — 100/100)

*www/non-www, trailing slash, HTTP→HTTPS*

- **[PASS]** www/non-www redirect configured correctly (preferred: non-www)
- **[PASS]** HTTP correctly redirects to HTTPS permanently

### Domain Intelligence (A+ — 100/100)

*sau.int — 11 years, 7 months old, hosted on SAU-AS - South Asian University, IN*

- **[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.
- **[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: SAU-AS - South Asian University, IN

*No accessibility statement detected*

- **[WARNING]** No accessibility statement detected — Sites are increasingly expected to publish an accessibility statement. 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: .

### Copyright Notice (B — 80/100)

*© 2025 All rights reserved by South Asian University*

- **[INFO]** Copyright year is 2025 (1 year(s) behind) — Copyright year is 2025 — 1 year(s) behind. While copyright protection doesn't depend on the year being current, an outdated notice may suggest the site is not actively maintained. Update to © 2026 or use a range like © 2025–2026.

### Regulatory Indicators

*2 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]** GDPR indicators detected (moderate confidence) — Indicators suggesting GDPR may be relevant: Privacy policy page found. EU General Data Protection Regulation — governs collection and processing of personal data of EU residents.
- **[INFO]** HIPAA indicators detected (weak confidence) — Indicators suggesting HIPAA may be relevant: Text mentions: phi. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act — protects sensitive patient health information.

### Third-Party Data Sharing

*2 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]** 2 third-party services across 2 categories — 2 third-party services detected across 2 categories: Analytics (1), Security (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 (C — 65/100)

*Assets on Cloudflare (host cdn.jsdelivr.net, 9 assets); document served directly from origin*

- **[WARNING]** Document not behind existing CDN (Cloudflare serves the assets) — The page's subresources are delivered by Cloudflare (cdn.jsdelivr.net, 9 assets), but the HTML document itself comes straight from the origin. Routing the document through the CDN already in use is the cheapest latency win available here -- the provider relationship, the certificate and the config already exist. A short edge TTL with stale-while-revalidate suits HTML that changes often; if the response is genuinely per-user, edge TLS termination alone still removes a full round trip from every visitor's first byte.
- **[PASS]** Assets on Cloudflare: cdn.jsdelivr.net (assets: 9), cache HIT

### HTTP Caching (A — 90/100)

*max-age=172800 (2 days)*

- **[PASS]** Cache-Control header is set
- **[PASS]** Effective TTL: 2 days (max-age=172800)
- **[INFO]** No ETag or Last-Modified header — Conditional requests (304 Not Modified) are not possible without validators.

### 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 — 90/100)

*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.
- **[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: connection error, /healthz: 404, /ping: 404, /status: 404.

### 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)

*5 landmarks*

- **[CRITICAL]** No <main> landmark found — Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to the primary content. Wrap your main content in <main>.
- **[PASS]** 4 <nav> landmark(s) found
- **[WARNING]** 4 of 4 <nav> elements are unlabeled — Multiple navigations need aria-label to distinguish them for screen readers.
- **[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 (F — 0/100)

*82 headings, 6 skip(s)*

- **[CRITICAL]** No H1 heading found — Every page should have one H1 that describes the page content.
- **[WARNING]** Heading level skipped: H2 → H4 (missing H3) — Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.
- **[WARNING]** Heading level skipped: H2 → H4 (missing H3) — Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.
- **[WARNING]** Heading level skipped: H2 → H4 (missing H3) — Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.
- **[WARNING]** Heading level skipped: H2 → H4 (missing H3) — Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.
- **[WARNING]** Heading level skipped: H2 → H4 (missing H3) — Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.
- **[WARNING]** Heading level skipped: H2 → H4 (missing H3) — Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.

### Heading Text Quality (A — 85/100)

*2 heading-text-quality issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 2 heading(s) are over 120 characters -- likely a misformatted paragraph — Headings beyond 120 characters are almost always full sentences or paragraphs that received heading semantics by mistake (e.g., a CMS editor selected the wrong block type, or a template wrapped a body paragraph in `<h2>`). Screen readers will announce these as "heading" and read the entire paragraph at heading prosody. Affected:
  - H4: 182 chars
  - H4: 172 chars
- **[INFO]** 2 heading(s) are all-uppercase (excluding short acronyms) — Headings rendered in all-uppercase are a styling choice that should be done via CSS (`text-transform: uppercase`), not by typing the text in caps. Capitalized text is read letter-by-letter by some screen readers (e.g., "H-E-L-L-O W-O-R-L-D" instead of "hello world"). It's also a soft signal of CMS-migration artifacts where the original lowercase intent was lost.

### Alt Text Quality (D — 45/100)

*10 of 96 images have issues*

- **[CRITICAL]** 10 image(s) missing alt attribute — Images without alt text are invisible to screen readers.
- **[CRITICAL]** 1 image-in-link without alt text — An image inside a link with no alt creates an empty link.
- **[PASS]** 11 decorative image(s) correctly marked
- **[PASS]** 75 image(s) with good alt text

### Form Accessibility (A — 92/100)

*1 of 1 controls have issues*

- **[WARNING]** 1 control(s) rely on placeholder only — Placeholder text disappears on focus and is not a reliable label.

### Link & Button Quality (F — 38/100)

*95 issue(s) across 387 links and 4 buttons*

- **[CRITICAL]** 51 link(s) with no accessible text — Links without text are announced as raw URLs by screen readers.
- **[WARNING]** 44 link(s) with generic text — Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.
- **[WARNING]** 108 link(s) open in new tab without warning — Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.
- **[PASS]** 184 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 "s" should use type="search" (currently type="text") — Field name "s" suggests type="search". Wrong type loses mobile keyboard hints, browser autofill, and free format validation. Change to <input type="search">.

### Form Input Quality (A+ — 100/100)

*1 form control(s) checked, no input-semantic issues*

- **[PASS]** All form input semantics look correct

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

*No autofill-eligible form controls*

- **[PASS]** No autofill-eligible form controls (no name/email/tel/address fields)

### Document Language (A+ — 100/100)

*Lang attribute set to "en"*

- **[PASS]** <html lang="en"> is set and valid

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

*110 explicit tabindex attribute(s) checked, no anti-patterns*

- **[PASS]** No tabindex anti-patterns detected

### Iframe Accessibility (A+ — 100/100)

*No iframes on this page*

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

### Tap Target Adequacy (D — 60/100)

*45 tap target(s) too small or too close together*

- **[WARNING]** 45 tap target(s) too small or too close to neighbors — WCAG 2.5.5 (Level AAA) requires interactive targets to be at least 44x44 CSS pixels; WCAG 2.5.8 (Level AA, added in 2.2) requires 24x24 minimum. Failing targets cause mis-taps for users with motor impairments, large fingers, or shaky hands -- and are a major bounce-rate driver on mobile commerce flows. Lighthouse measures rendered rects + adjacent-element spacing; the failing list is in the Lighthouse 'tap-targets' audit detail panel.

### Mobile-Readable Font Sizes (B — 90/100)

*98% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (1 below threshold)*

- **[INFO]** 1 text node(s) render below 12 CSS pixels on mobile — Mobile browsers default the root font-size to 16 px; text below ~ 12 px (75% of root) is hard to read without zooming. WCAG 1.4.4 (Resize Text) requires the page to support 200% zoom without loss of functionality -- which most layouts handle, but small base text still costs readability and conversion. Audit which selectors set sizes below 12 px (often footers, fine print, table cells) and bump them to 14-16 px or use rem units that scale with user preferences. Examples: <a> 10.0px ("+91 (11) 35656500").

### PWA Depth (A+ — 100/100)

*No PWA depth issues detected*

- **[PASS]** No PWA depth issues detected

### 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.
