- **[PASS]** X-Content-Type-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** X-Frame-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Referrer-Policy is properly configured
- **[WARNING]** Permissions-Policy header is missing — Controls which browser features (camera, microphone, geolocation) are allowed. Set it to restrict unused features.
- **[PASS]** Content-Security-Policy is present
- **[INFO]** Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy is set but not '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
- **[PASS]** Domain is in the Chrome HSTS preload list (status: preloaded)

### 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 56 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 2 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 2 domain(s)

### Cookie Security (A+ — 95/100)

*1 cookies analyzed, 2 checks passed*

- **[PASS]** Cookie 'cid' has the Secure flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'cid' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'cid' has SameSite=Lax

### 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.

- **[PASS]** No CORS headers present — secure default

---

## Performance

### Page Weight Budget (D — 45/100)

*2.4 MB transferred, 170 requests*

- **[INFO]** Page weighs 8.6 MB (2.4 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 1.8 MB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[WARNING]** 170 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing — Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 0.50 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (D — 50/100)

*93% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[WARNING]** Third-party code accounts for 93% of page weight (2.2 MiB of 2.4 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)

*26 images, 0 KB saveable*

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

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*128131ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://b.stripecdn.com/mkt-ssr-statics/assets/_ne...: 116688ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://b.stripecdn.com/mkt-ssr-statics/assets/_ne...: 3413ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 2608ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://stripe.com/: 2252ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://b.stripecdn.com/mkt-ssr-statics/assets/_ne...: 1006ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Third-party scripts: 125879ms (98% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*2 fonts (70 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 2 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (C — 60/100)

*101 scripts, 219 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://b.stripecdn.com/mkt-ssr-statics/assets/_ne...: 106 KB unused (45%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://b.stripecdn.com/mkt-ssr-statics/assets/_ne...: 71 KB unused (21%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://b.stripecdn.com/mkt-ssr-statics/assets/_ne...: 42 KB unused (76%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 219 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+ — 100/100)

*23 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[PASS]** Page uses 23 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.

### Compression Algorithm (C — 70/100)

*Main 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.

### 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.

### Page Weight Inventory (D — 40/100)

*170 resources · 2.4 MB · 219 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 2.4 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 1.4 MB
- **[INFO]** ~219 KB of savings available
- **[WARNING]** 163 third-party resources (93% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 2 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*

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

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

### Open Graph (B — 85/100)

*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:site_name — The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.

### Structured Data (B — 80/100)

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

- **[WARNING]** Missing required property "name" for WebSite — The "name" property is required for the WebSite schema type.
- **[WARNING]** Missing required property "url" for WebSite — The "url" property is required for the WebSite schema type.
- **[INFO]** Missing recommended property "description" for WebSite — Adding "description" can improve how search engines display your content.
