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 14.3 MB (14.2 MB transferred)
Informational: total page weight (uncompressed) and bytes actually transferred over the wire.
Soft 404: server returns HTTP 200 for non-existent pages
Soft 404s (HTTP 200 for missing pages) confuse Google — it indexes the 'not found' page as real content and ranks it.
Business case
What fixing the audit's findings is worth -- and what ignoring them keeps costing.
Return on investment
$675 investment → $6,624/month returns + USD 157,500 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
6 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~25%.
- Page takes 36.8s to loadUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 34.3s over the 2.5s threshold→ Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
- No HSTS headerReturning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request→ Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
- No Content-Security-Policy headerHigher 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 readGraduate-level reading difficulty — limits the addressable audience for product or blog pages→ Shorten sentences; replace jargon with plain language; target Flesch ease ≥60
- No skip-to-content linkKeyboard and screen-reader users must tab through the entire header on every page→ Add a visible-on-focus <a href="#main">Skip to content</a> as the first focusable element
Preliminary CRO audit — each barrier links to the tab with detailed analysis.
