Top Priorities (5)

Sorted by impact
Critical: 1

'unsafe-eval' found in script source

Unsafe value (unsafe-inline, unsafe-eval) in script-src defeats CSP's main protection — XSS injections can execute again.

Security › Content Security Policy
Critical: 2

'unsafe-inline' found in script source

Unsafe value (unsafe-inline, unsafe-eval) in script-src defeats CSP's main protection — XSS injections can execute again.

Security › Content Security Policy
Warning: 3

25 third-party resources (100% of weight)

Informational: third-party resource count and their share of page weight. High share caps perf gains from frontend optimization.

Performance › Page Weight Inventory
Warning: 4

Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header is missing

COEP enforces that all embedded resources opt-in to cross-origin embedding — required for cross-origin isolation features.

Security › Security Headers
Warning: 5

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header is missing

COOP isolates your top-level browsing context from cross-origin windows — without it, popup-based side-channel attacks remain possible.

Security › Security Headers
What fixing these means. Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Your LCP of 11.4s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
4 security gaps detected — browsers may warn visitors about your site.
Your LCP is 11.4s — fixing the 1 performance critical could bring it under Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold.

Observations (3)

WordPress detected — review security configuration

WordPress sites benefit from: protecting wp-login.php, disabling XML-RPC if unused, restricting REST API access, and keeping all plugins and themes up to date. Check the Security tab for specific findings.

No build tool detected

A framework (Cookie Control) was detected but no bundler was identified. The build tool may not be detectable from output patterns, or the site may use the framework's built-in bundler.

Complex technology stack detected

13 technologies identified. A complex stack increases maintenance burden and attack surface. Consider whether all components are actively needed.
