## Security

### Security Headers (B — 80/100)

*9 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.
- **[PASS]** X-Content-Type-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** X-Frame-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Referrer-Policy is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Permissions-Policy is set
- **[PASS]** Content-Security-Policy is present
- **[PASS]** Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy is set
- **[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 (C — 65/100)

*6 of 10 CSP checks passed*

- **[INFO]** Raw CSP policy
- **[PASS]** default-src directive is set
- **[PASS]** No 'unsafe-inline' in script source
- **[CRITICAL]** 'unsafe-eval' found in script source — 'unsafe-eval' allows eval() and similar functions, enabling code injection. Remove it.
- **[PASS]** No wildcard in script source
- **[PASS]** object-src falls back to default-src
- **[PASS]** base-uri is properly restricted
- **[WARNING]** frame-ancestors directive is missing — frame-ancestors controls who can embed your page, preventing clickjacking. Set it to 'self' or 'none'.
- **[PASS]** form-action directive is set
- **[INFO]** upgrade-insecure-requests is not set — This directive upgrades HTTP resources to HTTPS automatically, preventing mixed content.

### 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 46 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 3 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 (A — 90/100)

*Cloudflare WAF (active mitigation)*

- **[PASS]** Cloudflare WAF (active mitigation) detected — Detected via: cf-ray: a2e9f5358efbd136-CDG; cf-mitigated: challenge

### 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 2 new-tab link(s) carry rel=noopener*

- **[PASS]** All 2 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) (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 (F — 0/100)

*Scan was blocked by Cloudflare -- the rest of this report does NOT reflect the real site*

- **[CRITICAL]** Scan returned a Cloudflare bot-protection interstitial, not the actual page — The HTML captured by the scanner is a `Cloudflare` challenge / block page. The scanner's user-agent or IP was flagged as bot traffic and the real site content was never returned. Every other section in this report (security headers, accessibility, content, SEO, performance) was computed against the few KB of interstitial HTML rather than your actual page -- those findings are NOT meaningful for this URL.

Detection signal: <title>Just a moment...</title> -- Cloudflare interactive challenge

Resolution paths: (1) allow-list BeaverCheck's worker IPs at the bot-protection layer, (2) configure a relaxed challenge for known scanner user-agents, or (3) accept that the public site is unscannable from third-party tools. Note that Cloudflare's "Bot Fight Mode" and "Super Bot Fight Mode" both block the scanner by default.

### 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 (F — 30/100)

*0% SRI adoption (0/1 third-party resources)*

- **[WARNING]** SRI adoption: 0/1 third-party resources protected (0%) — Of 1 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 1 examples):
  - https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/g/aae2b9a1c261/api.js?onload=mlyM5&render=explicit

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 (A — 85/100)

*90% high-risk feature coverage (9/10)*

- **[PASS]** Permissions-Policy covers 9/10 high-risk features (90%) — The Permissions-Policy header explicitly declares policies for 9/10 high-risk features.

Covered: camera, microphone, geolocation, payment, usb, serial, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer

Not declared (default-allow): midi

The non-declared features fall back to their spec-default policy (usually `self`), which means an XSS-injected or compromised iframe could request them. For features the page genuinely doesn't use, declare `feature=()` to fully close them.

### Referrer-Policy Strictness (A+ — 100/100)

*Referrer-Policy is `same-origin` (strict -- Referer sent only on same-origin requests)*

- **[PASS]** Referrer-Policy: `same-origin` -- strict -- Referer sent only on same-origin requests — Full URL Referer header on same-origin requests; no Referer at all on cross-origin. Strong privacy posture; same-origin analytics still work.

### Source Map Exposure (A+ — 100/100)

*Source-map probe didn't run on this scan*

- **[PASS]** Source-map probe didn't run on this scan

### 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

---

## Advanced Security

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

*0 of 1 external resources have SRI*

- **[WARNING]** External script from challenges.cloudflare.com 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 (F — 0/100)

*no DMARC, no SPF*

- **[WARNING]** No DMARC record found — Without DMARC, email receivers have no policy for handling authentication failures. Add a TXT record at _dmarc.<domain> starting with v=DMARC1.
- **[WARNING]** No SPF record found — Without SPF (Sender Policy Framework), receivers can't tell which servers are authorized to send mail for your domain. Add a TXT record at the apex starting with v=spf1, ending in -all.
- **[INFO]** No DKIM detected via common selectors — DKIM signs outbound mail to prove origin. We probed common selectors (default, google, selector1, etc.) without finding a record. If you use a non-standard selector, this is a false negative.
- **[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 (A+ — 100/100)

*16 directives, 0 missing*

- **[PASS]** accelerometer=() — blocked for all origins
- **[PASS]** camera=() — blocked for all origins

- **[PASS]** sync-xhr=() — blocked for all origins
- **[PASS]** usb=() — blocked for all origins
- **[INFO]** xr-spatial-tracking=*

### CORS Configuration (B — 80/100)

*No CORS headers*

- **[PASS]** No CORS headers present — secure default

## Performance

### Page Weight Budget (F — 0/100)

*114.6 MB transferred, 478 requests*

- **[CRITICAL]** Page weighs 159.9 MB (114.6 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 1.8 MB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[WARNING]** Images are 1.3 MB — compress or use modern formats — Convert images to WebP/AVIF and resize to display dimensions to reduce transfer size.
- **[INFO]** CSS is 360 KB — consider purging unused styles — Remove unused CSS rules with tools like PurgeCSS to reduce stylesheet size.
- **[INFO]** Fonts are 272 KB — consider subsetting or using system fonts — Subset fonts to include only used characters, or switch to system font stacks.
- **[WARNING]** 478 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing — Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 24.0 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (D — 50/100)

*99% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[WARNING]** Third-party code accounts for 99% of page weight (113.0 MiB of 114.6 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 — 75/100)

*45 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[PASS]** All images are well-optimized

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*21614ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.sigsauer.com/static/version1785837910/...: 5062ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 4162ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.sigsauer.com/static/version1785837910/...: 3487ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.sigsauer.com/: 2595ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://consent.cookiebot.com/uc.js?cbid=b8133d0b-...: 1174ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Third-party scripts: 5711ms (26% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*15 fonts (272 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 15 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (D — 40/100)

*311 scripts, 444 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://widget.reviews.io/polaris/build.js: 96 KB unused (95%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-NM7...: 85 KB unused (47%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-NYP8...: 77 KB unused (41%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://static.klaviyo.com/onsite/js/Render.215668...: 45 KB unused (81%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://vice-prod.sdiapi.com/vice_release/1.23.10....: 34 KB unused (56%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 444 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)

*No optimization needed*

- **[PASS]** No resource hint issues

### 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 (B — 80/100)

*Main response uses gzip; brotli would be ~20% smaller*

- **[INFO]** Main HTML response uses gzip (brotli would be ~20% smaller) — All current browsers support brotli. Most CDNs (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront, Vercel, Netlify) can switch from gzip to brotli with a single config flag. Origin servers (nginx, Apache) need a brotli module compiled in -- nginx-brotli or Apache mod_brotli.

### 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)

*1 Server-Timing entries advertised*

- **[PASS]** Server-Timing header advertises 1 timing entries

### Server Response Intelligence (A — 87/100)

*2 server-response signal(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** Compressed response missing `Vary` header — The page is served with `Content-Encoding: gzip` but has no `Vary` header. Without `Vary: Accept-Encoding`, intermediary caches (corporate proxies, ISP caches) may serve the compressed variant to clients that didn't send the matching `Accept-Encoding` -- the client sees garbled bytes. Add `Vary: Accept-Encoding` whenever the response is conditionally compressed.
- **[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)

*478 resources · 114.6 MB · 444 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 114.6 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 113.6 MB
- **[INFO]** ~444 KB of savings available
- **[WARNING]** 194 third-party resources (99% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 5 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]** 1 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 21.6 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+ — 100/100)

*No CSS performance depth issues detected*

- **[PASS]** No CSS performance depth issues detected

---

## Content Quality

### Links (A — 95/100)

*5 links checked, 4 healthy, 1 broken*

- **[WARNING]** 4 of 5 links are healthy
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://www.sigsauer.com/favicon.ico — Found in <img src>. Returns HTTP 404.

### Mixed Content (A+ — 100/100)

*No mixed content detected — all resources use HTTPS.*

- **[PASS]** No mixed content detected — all resources use HTTPS

### Open Graph (F — 0/100)

*No Open Graph tags found — social sharing previews will be generic.*

- **[WARNING]** No Open Graph meta tags found — Without og:title, og:description, and og:image, social media platforms will generate a generic preview when your page is shared.

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

*No OG image or Twitter card set -- depth check is N/A (presence covered by Open Graph section)*

- **[PASS]** No OG image / Twitter card to evaluate

### Structured Data (C — 40/100)

*No structured data (JSON-LD) found.*

- **[INFO]** No structured data (JSON-LD) found — Adding structured data helps search engines understand your content and can enable rich results.

### Rich Results Eligibility (C — 75/100)

*No JSON-LD found -- no rich-result eligibility*

- **[INFO]** No JSON-LD structured data on the page — No `<script type="application/ld+json">` blocks found. Without structured data, search engines fall back to inferring page meaning from raw HTML -- which works but doesn't unlock SERP features (rich snippets, knowledge panel, FAQ accordion, breadcrumb trail). Adding even basic JSON-LD (Organization for the site identity, BreadcrumbList for navigation context) is a low-effort SEO win.

### Image Optimization (B — 80/100)

*2 issues found across 1 images*

- **[WARNING]** 1 images missing explicit width/height — Images without dimensions cause layout shifts (CLS). Set explicit width and height attributes.
- **[INFO]** 1 below-fold images missing loading="lazy" — Lazy loading defers below-fold images, reducing initial page weight.

### Autoplay Media (A+ — 100/100)

*No autoplay media on the page*

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

---

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (A — 90/100)

*2 A records, 40 ms lookup*

- **[PASS]** Resolves to 2 IPv4 address(es)
- **[PASS]** Has 2 IPv6 (AAAA) record(s)
- **[INFO]** No NS records found
- **[INFO]** No MX records — email not configured via DNS
- **[INFO]** No SPF record found in TXT records — SPF helps prevent email spoofing. Add a TXT record starting with 'v=spf1'.
- **[PASS]** DNS resolution time: 40 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)

*0/4 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 104.16.189.130: lookup 104.16.189.130: 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.
- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 104.16.188.130: lookup 104.16.188.130: 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.
- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 2606:4700::6810:bc82: lookup 2606:4700::6810:bc82: 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.
- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 2606:4700::6810:bd82: lookup 2606:4700::6810:bd82: 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 32ms)*

- **[PASS]** Cloudflare: 17ms
- **[PASS]** Google: 27ms
- **[PASS]** Quad9: 49ms

### Redirect Chain (A+ — 100/100)

*0 redirect(s), 74 ms total*


### IPv6 Readiness (F — 30/100)

*IPv6 records exist but unreachable*

- **[WARNING]** IPv6 DNS records exist but server is not reachable — Having AAAA records but an unreachable server is worse than no AAAA — clients may experience delays before falling back to IPv4.
- **[INFO]** IPv6 connection error

### Crawlability (B — 80/100)

*robots.txt present, no sitemap*

- **[PASS]** robots.txt is present
- **[INFO]** No sitemap.xml found — A sitemap helps search engines discover and index your pages more efficiently.
- **[INFO]** robots.txt does not reference a sitemap — Add a 'Sitemap:' directive to robots.txt so search engines can discover your sitemap.

### URL Variants (A+ — 100/100)

*www/non-www, trailing slash, HTTP→HTTPS*

- **[PASS]** HTTP correctly redirects to HTTPS permanently

### Domain Intelligence (A+ — 100/100)

*sigsauer.com — via Cloudflare, Inc., 25 years, 7 months old*

- **[PASS]** Domain registered until May 7, 2027 (8 months remaining)
- **[INFO]** DNSSEC is not enabled — DNSSEC protects against DNS spoofing attacks. While not required, enabling DNSSEC adds an additional layer of security. Contact your DNS provider to enable it.
- **[PASS]** Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc.
- **[WARNING]** Registrar lock is NOT enabled — The domain can be transferred without an unlock step. Enable registrar lock (clientTransferProhibited) in your registrar's control panel to protect against unauthorized or accidental transfers.

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

### 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*

*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.
