Top Priorities (5)
Content-Security-Policy header is missing
Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything your users type — including credentials.
HSTS header is missing
Without HSTS, a network attacker can downgrade the very first connection to HTTP and steal the user's session.
No Content-Security-Policy header found
Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything users type — credentials, payment data, session tokens.
Page weighs 9.1 MB (7.7 MB transferred)
Informational: total page weight (uncompressed) and bytes actually transferred over the wire.
5 link(s) with no accessible text
Links with no accessible text (empty <a></a>, image-only no alt, icon-only no aria-label) are unidentifiable to screen readers.
Business case
What fixing the audit's findings is worth -- and what ignoring them keeps costing.
Return on investment
$675 investment → $8,504/month returns + USD 157,500 risk avoided
Figures combine localized regulatory fine ceilings, search/conversion value priced against local CPC, and bandwidth waste estimates. Results depend on implementation quality and audience composition. Not legal or financial advice.
Conversion barriers
7 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~32%.
- Page takes 20.5s to loadUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 18.0s over the 2.5s threshold→ Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
- Mixed content on HTTPS pageBrowsers block insecure subresources — broken images, missing scripts, warning badge→ Change http:// URLs inside the page to https:// (or protocol-relative)
- 3 broken link(s) on the pageClicks land on 404s — trust drops and the session often ends→ Fix or remove the broken destinations surfaced on the Content tab
- No HSTS headerReturning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request→ Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
- No Content-Security-Policy headerHigher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form→ Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean

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 (Adobe Fonts) 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
21 technologies identified. A complex stack increases maintenance burden and attack surface. Consider whether all components are actively needed.
