## Security

### Security Headers (C — 55/100)

*5 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[WARNING]** HSTS is enabled but max-age is short (7889238s, should be >= 31536000s) — The header is present and enforced, so first-visit protection is already in place; a short max-age just means the browser forgets it sooner. Set max-age to at least 31536000 (1 year).
- **[PASS]** X-Content-Type-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** X-Frame-Options is properly configured
- **[WARNING]** Referrer-Policy header is missing — Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests. Set to 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' or stricter.
- **[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
- **[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 (B — 75/100)

*3 of 10 CSP checks passed*

- **[INFO]** Raw CSP policy
- **[WARNING]** default-src directive is missing — default-src provides a fallback for other directives. Set it to restrict default resource loading.
- **[INFO]** No script-src or default-src to check for 'unsafe-inline'
- **[INFO]** No script-src or default-src to check for 'unsafe-eval'
- **[INFO]** No script-src or default-src to check for wildcard
- **[PASS]** object-src falls back to default-src
- **[WARNING]** base-uri directive is missing — Without base-uri, attackers can inject a <base> tag to hijack relative URLs. Set it to 'self' or 'none'.
- **[PASS]** frame-ancestors directive is set
- **[WARNING]** form-action directive is missing — form-action restricts where forms can submit data, preventing form hijacking.
- **[PASS]** upgrade-insecure-requests is enabled

### TLS & Certificates (A+ — 100/100)

*TLS 1.3, 8 checks passed*

- **[PASS]** TLS 1.3 is used
- **[PASS]** Strong cipher suite is used
- **[PASS]** HTTP/2 is negotiated
- **[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 64 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 4 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 1 domain(s)
- **[PASS]** Certificate is issued by a trusted CA

### Cookie Security (C — 60/100)

*3 cookies analyzed, 5 checks passed*

- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'localization' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'localization' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'localization' has SameSite=Lax
- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'cart_currency' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'cart_currency' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'cart_currency' has SameSite=Lax
- **[PASS]** Cookie '_shopify_essential' has the Secure flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie '_shopify_essential' has the HttpOnly flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie '_shopify_essential' has SameSite=Lax

### Cookie Hygiene (A+ — 100/100)

*All 3 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks*

- **[PASS]** All 3 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks

### WAF / Bot Protection (A — 90/100)

*Cloudflare*

- **[PASS]** Cloudflare detected — Detected via: cf-ray: a4c918b87b5e46b2-CDG

### 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 (C — 75/100)

*2 of 6 new-tab link(s) missing rel=noopener*

- **[WARNING]** 2 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)

*79 inline style attribute(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 79 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. 79 inline style(s) is high. Affected element types include: dialog-close-button, span, slideshow-carousel, div, a. 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) (B — 95/100)

*Trusted Types not enabled*

- **[INFO]** Trusted Types not enabled — Trusted Types (CSP3) is a Chrome 83+ defense that requires DOM-XSS sinks (innerHTML, document.write, eval, ...) to receive a typed-and-sanitized value rather than a raw string. Adding `Content-Security-Policy: require-trusted-types-for 'script'; trusted-types default` neutralizes most DOM-XSS even when a payload reaches a sink. Adoption is currently ~0.1% of pages so this is informational; a roll-out usually starts in report-only mode.

### 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 (D — 50/100)

*4% SRI adoption (1/24 third-party resources)*

- **[WARNING]** SRI adoption: 1/24 third-party resources protected (4%) — Of 24 third-party `<script>` / `<link rel=stylesheet>` resources, 1 (4%) 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://app.marsello.com/Content/widget/lightgallery.min.js
  - https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js
  - https://cdn-01.marsello.com/Content/widget/marsello-form.js?913194176
  - https://pos.marsello.app/widget/castleware-baby.myshopify.com
  - //cdn1.stamped.io/files/widget.min.css

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 (B — 75/100)

*Referrer-Policy header not set -- browser default applies (modern: strict-origin-when-cross-origin; legacy browsers: no-referrer-when-downgrade)*

- **[INFO]** Referrer-Policy header not set -- browser default applies — Without an explicit `Referrer-Policy` header, the browser falls back to its default policy. Modern browsers (Chrome 85+, Firefox 87+, Safari 15+) default to `strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, which is privacy-safe. Legacy browsers default to the leaky `no-referrer-when-downgrade`, which sends the full URL (including path + query) on cross-origin HTTPS-to-HTTPS requests. Set an explicit header to ensure consistent behavior:

```
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
```

This matches the modern browser default and is privacy-safe without breaking referrer-based same-origin analytics.

### Source Map Exposure (C — 70/100)

*1 publicly-accessible source map(s) -- full source code leaked*

- **[WARNING]** 1 publicly-accessible JavaScript source map(s) — Source maps (.js.map files) reveal the original source code -- variable names, comments, file structure, and sometimes secrets that were stripped from the bundled output. They're shipped to production by mistake almost universally; the standard fix is a build-tool config flag (Webpack: `devtool: false` or `'hidden-source-map'`; Vite: `build.sourcemap: false`; Next.js: `productionBrowserSourceMaps: false`). Once removed, audit your CDN/edge cache to evict any previously-cached .map URLs. Sample accessible URLs: https://castleware.com/cdn/shop/t/19/assets/theme.js.map.

### 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

- **[WARNING]** External link from d2pkcwbsyjj2rs.cloudfront.net lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.

### 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 (D — 52/100)

*DMARC: none, SPF: ~all, DKIM*

- **[WARNING]** DMARC policy is none — monitoring only — This only monitors, it doesn't block spoofed emails. Change to p=quarantine or p=reject after monitoring DMARC reports.
- **[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: default, google, s1, s2)
- **[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 (C — 65/100)

*GraphQL introspection enabled at /api/graphql*

- **[WARNING]** GraphQL introspection enabled at /api/graphql — Introspection lets clients query the GraphQL server for its complete schema -- every type, field, argument, and resolver name. Convenient during development; on production, an attacker uses it as a free recon tool to map the entire data graph. Disable in production unless your API is intentionally public-spec.

### 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 — 0/100)

*7.7 MB transferred, 515 requests*

- **[CRITICAL]** Page weighs 12.4 MB (7.7 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** Images are 4.2 MB — compress or use modern formats — Convert images to WebP/AVIF and resize to display dimensions to reduce transfer size.
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 1.7 MB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[INFO]** CSS is 286 KB — consider purging unused styles — Remove unused CSS rules with tools like PurgeCSS to reduce stylesheet size.
- **[WARNING]** 515 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing — Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 1.6 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (D — 50/100)

*75% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[WARNING]** Third-party code accounts for 75% of page weight (5.8 MiB of 7.7 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)

*41 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[WARNING]** https://cdn1.stamped.io/uploads/productImages/2775... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.
- **[WARNING]** https://cdn1.stamped.io/uploads/productImages/2775... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.
- **[WARNING]**  is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*40073ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://castleware.com/: 30810ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://cdn.shopify.com/extensions/01a14cf5-286f-7...: 2600ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 2598ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://cdn.withgifted.com/gftd-script.js?shop=cas...: 724ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://cdn.shopify.com/shopifycloud/shop-js/modul...: 517ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Third-party scripts: 5561ms (14% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*9 fonts (173 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 9 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (F — 20/100)

*297 scripts, 545 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://castlewarebaby.marsello.app/assets/index-B...: 171 KB unused (73%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://castlewarebaby.marsello.app/assets/index-B...: 171 KB unused (73%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://castleware.com/cdn/wpm/b9f5e2762wb720532ap...: 44 KB unused (53%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.

- **[WARNING]** https://cdn1.stamped.io/files/widget.min.js?shop=c...: 27 KB unused (81%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 545 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)

*163 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[PASS]** Page uses 163 resource hint(s)

### HTTP/3 (QUIC) (A+ — 100/100)

*HTTP/3 advertised via Alt-Svc*

- **[PASS]** HTTP/3 (QUIC) is supported — First-load mobile users on cellular networks see meaningful latency improvements with HTTP/3. The QUIC transport collapses TLS + TCP handshakes into one and recovers faster from packet loss.

### Document Compression (A+ — 100/100)

*Document response uses brotli*

- **[PASS]** Main HTML response uses brotli (Content-Encoding: br) — Brotli is the best text-compression algorithm for general use, ~20% smaller than gzip on average (40% on smaller files). Modern browsers all support it.

### Asset Compression (A — 90/100)

*1 of 3 asset hosts still on gzip*

- **[PASS]** cdn.shopify.com serves assets with brotli (assets: 34)
- **[INFO]** cdn1.stamped.io serves assets with gzip; brotli would be ~20% smaller (assets: 5) — Every current browser accepts brotli. On a CDN this is a per-pull-zone toggle (Cloudflare, Fastly, CloudFront, CDN77, Bunny all expose it); on an origin it needs the brotli module (nginx-brotli, Apache mod_brotli). The saving lands on the assets this host serves, not on the HTML document -- the document's own encoding is reported separately.
- **[PASS]** castlewarebaby.marsello.app serves assets with brotli (assets: 3)

### 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*18 Server-Timing entries advertised*

- **[PASS]** Server-Timing header advertises 18 timing entries

### Server Response Intelligence (A+ — 100/100)

*2 server-response signal(s) detected*

- **[PASS]** `Vary` header declared: 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).
- **[PASS]** `ETag` present -- conditional GET supported

### Page Weight Inventory (F — 35/100)

*515 resources · 7.7 MB · 545 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 7.7 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 6.7 MB
- **[INFO]** ~545 KB of savings available
- **[WARNING]** 279 third-party resources (75% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 6 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 — 84/100)

*2 JS blocking issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 2 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 40.1 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]** 7 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.

*OG image dimensions and Twitter card configuration look healthy*

- **[PASS]** OG/Twitter Card depth is clean -- dimensions, card type, and inheritance all valid

### Structured Data (C — 75/100)

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

- **[CRITICAL]** Malformed JSON-LD block #2 — JSON parse error: json: cannot unmarshal array into Go value of type map[string]interface {}
- **[PASS]** 2 JSON-LD blocks found

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

*2 JSON-LD block(s) declaring 1 schema type(s)*

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

BreadcrumbList

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 — 0/100)

*8 issues found across 83 images*

- **[WARNING]** 2 images significantly larger than display size — Resizing to display dimensions could save approximately 0 KB.
- **[WARNING]** 33 images missing explicit width/height — Images without dimensions cause layout shifts (CLS). Set explicit width and height attributes.
- **[INFO]** 41 below-fold images missing loading="lazy" — Lazy loading defers below-fold images, reducing initial page weight.
- **[WARNING]** All 53 images use legacy formats (JPEG/PNG/GIF) — WebP offers 25-35% smaller files than JPEG. Use <picture> with <source type="image/webp"> for modern format support.
- **[WARNING]** 2 images missing alt text — Alt text is essential for screen readers and SEO. Every meaningful image needs descriptive alt text.
- **[WARNING]** Total image weight: 2291 KB (2.2 MB) — Consider compressing images, using modern formats, and serving appropriately sized images.
- **[WARNING]** 1 above-fold image(s) marked loading="lazy" (LCP anti-pattern) — Above-fold images marked lazy delay LCP -- the browser waits for the IntersectionObserver to fire before fetching, even though the image is in the initial viewport. Remove `loading="lazy"` on above-the-fold images (especially the LCP candidate). Sample: https://castleware.com/cdn/shop/files/CottonField_Blog_Wallpaper_1024px.png?v=1680123964&width=1024.
- **[INFO]** 4 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://castleware.com/cdn/shop/files/CaydenClaraplaying.png?v=1781042610&width=800, https://castleware.com/cdn/shop/files/Long-sleeve-fleece-sleeper-bag.jpg?v=1781028886&width=800, https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1874/5597/files/CastleWare_4_073daa72-232d-4286-b932-dbe4376a55cd.png?v=1790183138 (+1 more).

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (A+ — 95/100)

*1 A records, 36 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]** 1 mail exchanger(s) configured
- **[PASS]** SPF record present in TXT

### 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 (B — 75/100)

*0/1 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR for 23.227.38.65 does not match any cert SAN: myshopify.com — 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*Mean 26ms across 3 resolvers (spread 13ms)*

- **[PASS]** Quad9: 21ms

### Iframe Accessibility (A — 90/100)

*1/2 iframe(s) missing title; 0 placeholder(s)*

- **[WARNING]** <iframe> missing title attribute (src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uH4kE1kZhSk?playsinline=1&autoplay=1&controls=0&m…") — 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.

### Tap Target Adequacy (C — 75/100)

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

- **[WARNING]** 9 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 (C — 75/100)

*85% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (8 below threshold)*

- **[WARNING]** 8 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: <span> 11.0px ("Previous"); <p> 11.0px ("Free shipping on orders over $75"); <span> 11.0px ("Next"); <span> 11.0px ("(4.8)"); <span> 11.0px ("(4.8)").
