## Security

### Security Headers (F — 5/100)

*1 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. Set it to 'nosniff'.
- **[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.
- **[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.
- **[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.
- **[WARNING]** X-Powered-By header reveals technology stack — This header discloses server technology (e.g. Express, PHP), helping attackers target known vulnerabilities. Remove it.
- **[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 76 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 4 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 2 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 (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.

### 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 (D — 60/100)

*6 of 11 new-tab link(s) missing rel=noopener*

- **[WARNING]** 6 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 (C — 75/100)

*14 inline style attribute(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 14 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. 14 inline style(s) is moderate. Affected element types include: img, span, div, h2, p. 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) (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)

*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 (F — 30/100)

*0% SRI adoption (0/10 third-party resources)*

- **[WARNING]** SRI adoption: 0/10 third-party resources protected (0%) — Of 10 third-party `<script>` / `<link rel=stylesheet>` resources, 0 (0%) 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://ssl.p.jwpcdn.com/6/12/jwplayer.js?ver=7.0.4
  - https://cdn.consentmanager.net/delivery/js/semiautomatic.min.js
  - https://d.delivery.consentmanager.net/delivery/cmp.php?&cdid=c47a6b371222f&h=https%3A%2F%2Fuefafoundation.org%2F&l=en&ls=EN_EN_EN&lp=EN-GB&o=1786652009200
  - https://cdn.consentmanager.net/delivery/js/cmp_final.min.js?t=2026-8-13
  - https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Manrope:wght@300;400;500;600;700;800&display=swap

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 (A+ — 100/100)

*No source maps accessible (probed 6 candidate URL(s))*

- **[PASS]** No source maps accessible across 6 probed candidate(s)

### HTML Version Disclosure (C — 75/100)

*1 software version(s) disclosed in HTML*

- **[WARNING]** 1 software version(s) disclosed in HTML: WordPress 7.0.4 — Each disclosed version enables direct CVE lookup -- an attacker who knows you run WordPress 6.4.2 (or whatever specific version) can search the CVE database for known exploits and target accordingly. Remove via your CMS config: WordPress (`remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator')`); Drupal (System / Reports / Status report -> Hide generator); Joomla (Global Configuration -> Hide generator); Hugo/Jekyll (delete or override the {{ .Site.Generator }} template hook). For HTML comments, audit your template files directly.

### 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

## Advanced Security

### Subresource Integrity (F — 20/100)

*0 of 10 external resources have SRI*

- **[WARNING]** External script from ssl.p.jwpcdn.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from cdn.consentmanager.net lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from d.delivery.consentmanager.net lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from cdn.consentmanager.net lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External link from fonts.googleapis.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from maps.googleapis.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from stats.wp.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from d.delivery.consentmanager.net lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from d.delivery.consentmanager.net lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from cdn.consentmanager.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 (C — 60/100)

*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.
- **[PASS]** SPF ends in -all (hard fail) — strongest setting
- **[PASS]** DKIM configured (selectors: selector1)
- **[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 — 0/100)

*13.0 MB transferred, 68 requests*

- **[CRITICAL]** Page weighs 12.3 MB (13.0 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** Images are 1.5 MB — compress or use modern formats — Convert images to WebP/AVIF and resize to display dimensions to reduce transfer size.
- **[INFO]** Fonts are 351 KB — consider subsetting or using system fonts — Subset fonts to include only used characters, or switch to system font stacks.
- **[INFO]** 68 HTTP requests
- **[INFO]** Estimated 2.7 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (A+ — 100/100)

*2% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[INFO]** Third-party code accounts for 2% of page weight (285.0 KiB of 13.0 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)

*28 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[WARNING]** https://uefafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

### JS Execution Cost (D — 40/100)

*2172ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://uefafoundation.org/_static/??-eJzTLy/QzcxL...: 578ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://uefafoundation.org/: 524ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 385ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** https://cdn.consentmanager.net/delivery/js/semiaut...: 140ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** https://d.delivery.consentmanager.net/delivery/cmp...: 129ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Third-party scripts: 432ms (20% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*6 fonts (351 KB)*

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

### JS Bundles (B — 80/100)

*20 scripts, 104 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSy...: 64 KB unused (64%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://cdn.consentmanager.net/delivery/js/cmp_fin...: 40 KB unused (38%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 104 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)

*5 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[PASS]** Page uses 5 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*Main 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.

### 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*Main HTML max-age=300 (≤ 5min) is appropriate*

- **[PASS]** Main HTML max-age=300 (≤ 5min) is appropriate

### 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)

*2 server-response signal(s) detected*

- **[PASS]** `Vary` header declared: Accept-Encoding, accept, content-type — 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).
- **[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 (C — 60/100)

*68 resources · 13.0 MB · 104 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 13.0 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 12.0 MB
- **[INFO]** ~104 KB of savings available
- **[INFO]** 26 third-party resources (2% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 4 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 — 80/100)

*1 JS blocking issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 12 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.

### CSS Performance Depth (B — 80/100)

*2 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.
- **[INFO]** 1 `@import` rule(s) in inline `<style>` blocks -- chains an extra round-trip — Each `@import` in CSS forces a serial dependency: the parent stylesheet must download and parse before the browser even knows which URL to fetch next. This used to be catastrophic on HTTP/1.1; HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 multiplexing make it less painful but still strictly worse than declaring `<link rel="stylesheet">` siblings. Replace `@import url(...)` with `<link rel="stylesheet" href="...">` in HTML so the browser discovers and fetches in parallel.

---

## Content Quality

### Links (B — 80/100)

*141 links checked, 137 healthy, 4 broken*

- **[CRITICAL]** 137 of 141 links are healthy
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://ssl.p.jwpcdn.com — Found in <link href>. Returns HTTP 404.
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://uefafoundation.org/all-projects/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 404.
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://www.instagram.com/uefa_foundation/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 429.
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://uefafoundation.org/worldwide/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 404.

### Mixed Content (B — 80/100)

*1 HTTP resource(s) loaded on HTTPS page*

- **[CRITICAL]** HTTP link loaded on HTTPS page — Modern browsers block or warn about HTTP resources on HTTPS pages. Change the URL to use HTTPS.

### Open Graph (A+ — 100/100)

*Open Graph tags are well configured for social sharing.*

- **[INFO]** og:title is short (22 characters) — Ideal length is 25–60 characters for social sharing previews.

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

*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 (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 5 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]** 5 rich-result schema type(s) declared — Inventory of structured-data types on the page (each may unlock a different SERP feature):

BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, 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 — 45/100)

*5 issues found across 39 images*

- **[WARNING]** 1 images significantly larger than display size — Resizing to display dimensions could save approximately 36 KB.
- **[WARNING]** 7 images missing explicit width/height — Images without dimensions cause layout shifts (CLS). Set explicit width and height attributes.
- **[INFO]** 9 below-fold images missing loading="lazy" — Lazy loading defers below-fold images, reducing initial page weight.
- **[WARNING]** All 36 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.
- **[INFO]** 1 image(s) wider than 400px without srcset (no responsive serving) — These images deliver the same asset to every viewport (mobile, tablet, retina). Adding srcset / <picture> lets the browser pick a viewport-appropriate variant and typically saves 40-70% of bytes on mobile. Sample: https://uefafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/group.png.

### Autoplay Media (B — 90/100)

*1 autoplay media element(s) -- all muted*

- **[INFO]** 1 autoplay media element(s) on page (muted) — Autoplay video transfers bytes whether the user engages or not -- a sustainability concern even when muted. Consider replacing with a static poster image and a click-to-play overlay; the user opts in to the bandwidth cost.

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (A+ — 95/100)

*1 A records, 44 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]** 4 nameserver(s) configured
- **[PASS]** 1 mail exchanger(s) configured
- **[PASS]** SPF record present in TXT
- **[PASS]** DNS resolution time: 44 ms

### Subdomain Takeover (A+ — 100/100)

*No subdomain takeover risk detected*

- **[PASS]** No CNAME record present

### DNSSEC (A+ — 100/100)

*Signed and validating*

- **[PASS]** DNSSEC fully signed and chain validates (ECDSAP256SHA256)

### 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)

*0/1 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 192.0.66.2: lookup 192.0.66.2: no such host — No reverse DNS record set for this IP. Common on bare cloud-VM IPs without provider-side PTR; not a security issue.

### Multi-Resolver DNS Speed (A+ — 100/100)

*Mean 31ms across 3 resolvers (spread 14ms)*

- **[PASS]** Cloudflare: 24ms
- **[PASS]** Google: 31ms
- **[PASS]** Quad9: 38ms

### Redirect Chain (A+ — 100/100)

*No redirects — direct access*

- **[PASS]** No redirects — direct access

### IPv6 Readiness (C — 60/100)

*No IPv6 support*

- **[INFO]** No IPv6 (AAAA) records found — IPv6 support is increasingly important for global accessibility. About 40% of internet users have IPv6 connectivity.

### Crawlability (A+ — 100/100)

*robots.txt present, sitemap with 8 URLs*

- **[PASS]** robots.txt is present
- **[PASS]** sitemap.xml is present

## Compliance

### WCAG Compliance (A+ — 100/100)

*No testable criteria*


### Cookie Consent & Privacy (A+ — 100/100)

*Consentmanager detected, privacy policy found*

- **[PASS]** Privacy policy link found
- **[PASS]** Terms of service link found
- **[PASS]** Consent banner detected (Consentmanager)
- **[INFO]** This is an automated check, not legal advice — BeaverCheck detects technical indicators of consent management. This does not constitute a legal compliance assessment. Consult a privacy professional for GDPR/CCPA compliance.

### Consent UX Depth (A+ — 100/100)

*No consent-UX depth issues detected*

- **[PASS]** No consent-UX depth issues detected

### Tracker Inventory (A+ — 100/100)

*No known trackers detected on this page*

- **[PASS]** No known trackers detected on this page

### Language & i18n (A — 90/100)

*Lang attribute present*

- **[PASS]** <html lang> attribute is present
- **[PASS]** <html lang> value is valid
- **[INFO]** No Content-Language HTTP header
- **[INFO]** Language signals are inconsistent — The <html lang> attribute and Content-Language header should agree.

### Hreflang Configuration (A — 92/100)

*1 hreflang issue(s) across 2 tag(s)*

- **[INFO]** No `x-default` hreflang tag — Google recommends including `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="...">` so search engines have a fallback URL for users whose language / region doesn't match any specific hreflang entry. Typically points to a language-selection page or your default locale.

### Internationalization Extras (A+ — 100/100)

*2 i18n signal(s) detected*

- **[PASS]** Mixed-language content: 2 subtree language(s) declared (en, fr-fr) — The page has elements with `lang="X"` attributes that differ from the root `<html lang>`. Per WCAG 3.1.2 (Level AA), this is the correct way to mark language-of-parts: a screen reader switches pronunciation when entering a `lang="fr"` block on an English page. The catalog is informational -- presence of subtree lang attributes is a positive a11y signal.
- **[PASS]** Language switcher detected (anchor tags carry `hreflang` attribute) — The page has anchor tags with `hreflang` attributes -- the standard semantic for language-switcher links. Search engines and screen readers use the hreflang attribute to know what language the linked page is in, even when the link text is in the source language (e.g. `<a hreflang="fr" href="/fr">Français</a>` on an English page).

### Readability & Typography (A+ — 100/100)

### Viewport Configuration (C — 60/100)

*Viewport prevents zooming*

- **[PASS]** Viewport meta tag is present

- **[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.

*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]** Missing Strict-Transport-Security header — HSTS tells browsers to only use HTTPS, preventing SSL stripping attacks.
- **[PASS]** TLS 1.3 in use (fastest handshake, 1-RTT)

### Heading Hierarchy (A — 85/100)

*18 headings*

- **[WARNING]** Multiple H1 headings (2 found) — A page should have only one H1. Multiple H1s dilute the document outline.
- **[WARNING]** 1 empty heading(s) — Empty headings appear in the document outline but provide no information.

### Heading Text Quality (A+ — 100/100)

*All 18 heading(s) have substantive, well-formed text*

- **[CRITICAL]** 9 link(s) with no accessible text — Links without text are announced as raw URLs by screen readers.
- **[WARNING]** 9 link(s) with generic text — Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.
- **[WARNING]** 11 link(s) open in new tab without warning — Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.
- **[CRITICAL]** 10 button(s) with no accessible text — Icon-only buttons need an aria-label so screen readers can announce them.
- **[PASS]** 135 link(s) with descriptive text

### Form Input Types (A — 90/100)

*2 input(s) using type=text where a specific type would help*

- **[INFO]** Input "s" should use type="search" (currently type="text") — Field name "s" suggests type="search". Wrong type loses mobile keyboard hints, browser autofill, and free format validation. Change to <input type="search">.
- **[INFO]** Input "s" should use type="search" (currently type="text") — Field name "s" suggests type="search". Wrong type loses mobile keyboard hints, browser autofill, and free format validation. Change to <input type="search">.

### Form Input Quality (A+ — 100/100)

*2 form control(s) checked, no input-semantic issues*

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

### Mobile-Readable Font Sizes (B — 90/100)

*98% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (1 below threshold)*

- **[INFO]** 1 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> 10.7px ("EN").
