## Security

### Security Headers (D — 40/100)

*4 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[WARNING]** HSTS max-age is too short (15552000s, should be ≥ 31536000s) — A short max-age leaves a window for downgrade attacks. Set max-age to at least 31536000 (1 year).
- **[PASS]** X-Content-Type-Options is properly configured
- **[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.
- **[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.
- **[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 43 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)

*Cloudflare*

- **[PASS]** Cloudflare detected — Detected via: cf-ray: a29b364988a64f08-SJC

### 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*All 7 new-tab link(s) carry rel=noopener*

- **[PASS]** All 7 new-tab link(s) carry rel=noopener

### CSP Inline-Style Readiness (A+ — 100/100)

*No inline style attributes -- strict CSP is feasible*

- **[PASS]** No inline style attributes detected

### 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 (D — 50/100)

*5% SRI adoption (1/20 third-party resources)*

- **[WARNING]** SRI adoption: 1/20 third-party resources protected (5%) — Of 20 third-party `<script>` / `<link rel=stylesheet>` resources, 1 (5%) 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://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-WTQTBT439R&cx=c&gtm=4e68a1
  - https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-18148819491&cx=c&gtm=4e68a1
  - https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-MFT2R11DFX&cx=c&gtm=4e68a1
  - https://consent.cookiebot.com/7197badc-c43c-48de-8acf-2818f0d75fbe/cc.js?renew=false&referer=www.expatica.com&dnt=false&init=false
  - https://consent.cookiebot.com/uc.js?cbid=7197badc-c43c-48de-8acf-2818f0d75fbe&implementation=gtm&consentmode-dataredaction=dynamic

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 (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 1 candidate URL(s))*

- **[PASS]** No source maps accessible across 1 probed candidate(s)

### 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

### 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 (B — 82/100)

*DMARC: reject, SPF: ~all, DKIM*

- **[PASS]** DMARC policy is reject — strongest protection
- **[INFO]** SPF ends in ~all (soft fail) — Soft fail tells receivers to accept-but-mark unauthorized mail. Migrate to -all once you've confirmed all legitimate senders are listed (DMARC aggregate reports help verify).
- **[PASS]** DKIM configured (selectors: google, k2)
- **[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 — 27/100)

*3.0 MB transferred, 140 requests*

- **[WARNING]** Page weighs 4.7 MB (3.0 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 1.2 MB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[WARNING]** 140 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing — Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 0.63 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (D — 50/100)

*100% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[WARNING]** Third-party code accounts for 100% of page weight (3.0 MiB of 3.0 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 — 70/100)

*21 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.expatica.com/_nuxt/cigna-healthcare-lo... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*7816ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 1915ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.expatica.com/: 1403ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/mana...: 1227ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-MFT2...: 594ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-NT2...: 573ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Third-party scripts: 5902ms (76% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*6 fonts (124 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 6 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (D — 40/100)

*60 scripts, 448 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/mana...: 113 KB unused (57%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-WTQT...: 74 KB unused (42%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-MFT2...: 63 KB unused (39%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-NT2...: 61 KB unused (36%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-181...: 59 KB unused (39%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 448 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 — 90/100)

*27 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[INFO]** 1 dns-prefetch redundant with preconnect on same origin — preconnect already does the DNS lookup; adding dns-prefetch to the same origin is at best a no-op. Sample: https://admin.expatica.com. Remove the redundant dns-prefetch entries.
- **[INFO]** 1 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://admin.expatica.com (preconnect+dns-prefetch).
- **[PASS]** Page uses 27 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.

### 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 — 35/100)

*140 resources · 3.0 MB · 448 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 3.0 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 2.0 MB
- **[INFO]** ~448 KB of savings available
- **[WARNING]** 139 third-party resources (100% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 1 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 7.8 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]** 4 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.

---

## Content Quality

### Links (B — 88/100)

*161 links checked, 158 healthy, 2 broken*

- **[WARNING]** 158 of 161 links are healthy
- **[INFO]** Long redirect chain: https://cignaglobal.7eer.net/c/6505895/3939108/... (3 hops)
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://www.linkedin.com/company/expatica-communications/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 429.
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://www.instagram.com/expatica_world/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 429.

### 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 — 85/100)

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

- **[WARNING]** Missing og:image — The og:image tag provides a preview image for social sharing.

### Open Graph / Twitter Card Depth (A — 95/100)

*1 OG/Twitter depth issue(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** 1 Twitter Card field(s) differ from Open Graph counterparts — Twitter Cards inherit values from Open Graph tags when the Twitter-specific tag is absent (`twitter:title` falls back to `og:title`, etc.). Explicitly-set Twitter values that DIFFER from OG are usually stale -- the marketing team updates `og:title` for FB/LinkedIn previews and forgets to update `twitter:title` separately, leaving Twitter showing the old text. Mismatches:
  - description: twitter="Moving abroad? Expatica offers the infor...", og="We offer the information and resources y..."

Fix: either remove the redundant Twitter-specific tags (rely on inheritance) or sync them when updating OG.

### Structured Data (A+ — 100/100)

*1 JSON-LD block(s) found — structured data is well configured.*

- **[PASS]** Custom type "WebPage" — unable to validate specific properties

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

*1 JSON-LD block(s) declaring 4 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]** 4 rich-result schema type(s) declared — Inventory of structured-data types on the page (each may unlock a different SERP feature):

BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage, 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 (F — 55/100)

*5 issues found across 37 images*

- **[WARNING]** 1 images significantly larger than display size — Resizing to display dimensions could save approximately 0 KB.
- **[WARNING]** 1 images missing explicit width/height — Images without dimensions cause layout shifts (CLS). Set explicit width and height attributes.
- **[INFO]** 5 below-fold images missing loading="lazy" — Lazy loading defers below-fold images, reducing initial page weight.
- **[INFO]** 15 of 37 images use legacy formats
- **[INFO]** 2 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://admin.expatica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/immigrant-vs-expat-768x512.jpg, https://admin.expatica.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/cheapest-places-to-live-768x512.jpg.

### Autoplay Media (A+ — 100/100)

*No autoplay media on the page*

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

---

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (A+ — 100/100)

*3 A records, 11 ms lookup*

- **[PASS]** Resolves to 3 IPv4 address(es)
- **[PASS]** Has 3 IPv6 (AAAA) record(s)
- **[PASS]** 2 nameserver(s) configured
- **[PASS]** 3 mail exchanger(s) configured
- **[PASS]** SPF record present in TXT
- **[PASS]** DNS resolution time: 11 ms

### 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 (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 (C — 60/100)

*0/6 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** GDPR indicators detected (strong confidence) — Indicators suggesting GDPR may be relevant: Consent management platform detected: cookiebot.com; Privacy policy page found. EU General Data Protection Regulation — governs collection and processing of personal data of EU residents.

### 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), Tag Management (1). Each of these services receives some user data from your site visitors.

## Availability

### CDN & Delivery (B — 80/100)

*Cloudflare*

- **[PASS]** Site is served via Cloudflare CDN (edge: SJC)

### 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: 180 days — HSTS max-age should be at least 1 year (31536000 seconds).
- **[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: 404, /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 — 50/100)

*7 landmarks*

- **[CRITICAL]** No <main> landmark found — Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to the primary content. Wrap your main content in <main>.
- **[WARNING]** No <nav> landmark found
- **[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 (A — 85/100)

*26 headings, 1 skip(s)*

- **[PASS]** Single H1 present
- **[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 26 heading(s) have substantive, well-formed text*

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

### Alt Text Quality (A+ — 100/100)

*All 37 images OK*

- **[PASS]** 23 decorative image(s) correctly marked
- **[PASS]** 14 image(s) with good alt text

### Form Accessibility (B — 76/100)

*4 of 4 controls have issues*

- **[WARNING]** 4 control(s) rely on placeholder only — Placeholder text disappears on focus and is not a reliable label.

### Link & Button Quality (A — 88/100)

*80 links, 4 buttons — all OK*

- **[WARNING]** 7 link(s) open in new tab without warning — Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.

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

### Mobile Keyboard & Autofill (D — 60/100)

*6/6 eligible field(s) missing autocomplete or inputmode*

- **[WARNING]** 3 field(s) missing recommended autocomplete attribute — WCAG 1.3.5 (Level AA): inputs whose purpose maps to a Common Input Purpose value should declare it via `autocomplete=`. Required for password managers, browser autofill, and assistive tech that customizes inputs (e.g., simplified keyboards). Mobile autofill in particular cuts form-completion time by 30-50% when these are present. Affected purposes: email.
- **[WARNING]** 3 field(s) would benefit from inputmode attribute — Mobile browsers pick the on-screen keyboard layout from `inputmode=` when present (numeric pad, tel dialpad, email keyboard). Without it, users see the default text keyboard and must mode-switch -- 2-3 extra taps per phone-number or numeric-ID field. Type-based defaults exist (`type=tel` shows the tel keyboard on most browsers) but `inputmode` is the explicit, cross-browser way to control this. Affected types: email.

### Document Language (A+ — 100/100)

*Lang attribute set to "en"*

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

### Tabindex Anti-Patterns (A — 85/100)

*0 positive, 3 -1-on-focusable*

- **[INFO]** tabindex="-1" on naturally-focusable <input id="newsletter-section-website"> — 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.)
- **[INFO]** tabindex="-1" on naturally-focusable <input id="footer-website-md"> — 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.)
- **[INFO]** tabindex="-1" on naturally-focusable <input id="footer-website"> — 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 (B — 70/100)

*3/6 iframe(s) missing title; 0 placeholder(s)*

- **[WARNING]** <iframe> missing title attribute (src="") — 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.
- **[WARNING]** <iframe> missing title attribute (src="https://google-bidout-d.openx.net/w/1.0/pd?plm=5") — 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.
- **[WARNING]** <iframe> missing title attribute (src="https://cm.g.doubleclick.net/partnerpixels?us_privacy=1YNY&url=https%3A%2F%2Fww…") — 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.

- **[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.

*0.71g CO2 per view*

- **[INFO]** 0.71g CO2 per page view — This page transfers 3.0 MB, producing an estimated 0.71g of CO2 per visit using the Sustainable Web Design model (v4). Breakdown: data center 0.02g, network 0.15g, end-user device 0.54g.
- **[INFO]** At 10,000 monthly views: 85.1 kg CO2/year — With 10,000 page views per month, this page would generate approximately 85.1 kg of CO2 annually — equivalent to charging 10642 smartphones.
- **[PASS]** Green hosting reduces data center emissions

*Green (both)*

- **[PASS]** Both hosting and CDN use renewable energy
- **[INFO]** Cloudflare: Verified by the Green Web Foundation
- **[INFO]** Cloudflare: 100% renewable energy for global network since 2019
- **[INFO]** Green hosting status based on known provider commitments — Green hosting detection uses a curated database of provider renewable energy commitments. This is not a real-time verification. For authoritative checks, visit thegreenwebfoundation.org.

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

*98% cached*

- **[PASS]** 98% reduction on repeat visits — Returning visitors download only 74 KB (vs 3069 KB first visit). 131 of 140 resources are served from browser cache, saving 0.69g CO2 per repeat visit.
- **[INFO]** Repeat visit: 0.02g CO2 (first visit: 0.71g)

### Carbon Budget (D — 50/100)

*53th percentile*

- **[WARNING]** 0.71g CO2 — above the median website (0.60g) — Heavier than an estimated 47% of websites. Reducing page weight, optimizing images, and removing unused JavaScript would lower the carbon footprint. See the Performance tab.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 53th percentile — Compared to: top 10% = 0.20g, target = 0.50g, median = 0.60g per page view.

### Transfer Efficiency (B — 80/100)

*85% efficient*

- **[INFO]** Transfer efficiency: 85% — An estimated 448 KB (15%) could be eliminated: 0 KB via better compression, 0 KB via modern image formats, 448 KB of unused JavaScript. This wasted data produces 0.10g 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).
