landmark found — Accessibility > Landmark Structure --- ## Lighthouse Scores | Category | Score | |----------|-------| | Performance | 36 | | Accessibility | 93 | | Best Practices | 100 | | SEO | 100 | --- ## Security ### Security Headers (F — 10/100) *2 of 10 headers properly configured* - **[CRITICAL]** HSTS header is missing — Strict-Transport-Security forces browsers to use HTTPS, preventing downgrade attacks. Add the header with a max-age of at least 1 year. - **[WARNING]** X-Content-Type-Options header is missing — This header prevents MIME-type sniffing, which can lead to XSS attacks.
