## Security

### Security Headers (F — 30/100)

*3 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[PASS]** Strict-Transport-Security is properly configured
- **[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.
- **[PASS]** X-Powered-By header is not present
- **[PASS]** Server header is present without version info
- **[PASS]** Domain is in the Chrome HSTS preload list (status: preloaded)

### 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 58 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 2 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 41 domain(s)
- **[PASS]** Certificate is issued by a trusted CA

### Cookie Security (B — 75/100)

*5 cookies analyzed, 10 checks passed*

- **[PASS]** Cookie 'WMF-Last-Access' has the Secure flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'WMF-Last-Access' has the HttpOnly flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'WMF-Last-Access' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'WMF-Last-Access-Global' has the Secure flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'WMF-Last-Access-Global' has the HttpOnly flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'WMF-Last-Access-Global' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'GeoIP' has the Secure flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'GeoIP' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'GeoIP' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'NetworkProbeLimit' has the Secure flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'NetworkProbeLimit' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'NetworkProbeLimit' has SameSite=None
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'WMF-Uniq' has the Secure flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'WMF-Uniq' has the HttpOnly flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'WMF-Uniq' has SameSite=None

### Cookie Hygiene (A+ — 100/100)

*All 5 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks*

- **[PASS]** All 5 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks

### 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 (C — 75/100)

*1 of 3 new-tab link(s) missing rel=noopener*

- **[WARNING]** 1 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 (B — 90/100)

*1 inline style attribute(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** 1 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. 1 inline style(s) is low. Affected element types include: input. 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

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

*No source maps accessible (probed 2 candidate URL(s))*

- **[PASS]** No source maps accessible across 2 probed candidate(s)

### 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

### 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*No external resources*

- **[PASS]** No external resources to protect

### JS Library Vulnerabilities (A+ — 100/100)

*No known vulnerabilities*

- **[PASS]** No known JavaScript library vulnerabilities detected

### Information Leakage (A+ — 100/100)

*No exposures*

- **[PASS]** security.txt is present — good practice
- **[PASS]** No sensitive files exposed

### Email Security (C — 62/100)

*DMARC: reject, SPF: ~all*

- **[PASS]** DMARC policy is reject — strongest protection
- **[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).
- **[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 (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 (A+ — 100/100)

*92 KB transferred, 7 requests*

- **[PASS]** Page weighs 201 KB (92 KB transferred)
- **[PASS]** 7 HTTP requests
- **[INFO]** Estimated 0.02 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 (90.6 KiB of 91.9 KiB)
- **[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 (A — 90/100)

*2 images, 0 KB saveable*

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

### JS Execution Cost (B — 80/100)

*584ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.wikipedia.org/: 471ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Unattributable: 113ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Third-party scripts: 584ms (100% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*No web fonts (system fonts)*

- **[PASS]** No web fonts loaded — system fonts are fastest

### JS Bundles (A+ — 100/100)

*2 scripts, 0 KB unused*


### 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)

*2 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[PASS]** Page uses 2 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 (C — 70/100)

*Main response served uncompressed*

- **[INFO]** Main HTML response has no Content-Encoding (uncompressed) — The main HTML document is served without compression. The Text Compression section above lists the broader picture; for the main response specifically, even gzip would shave ~70-80% off most text payloads.

### 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)

*2 Server-Timing entries advertised*

- **[PASS]** Server-Timing header advertises 2 timing entries

### Page Weight Inventory (A — 85/100)

*7 resources · 92 KB · 0 KB savings available*

- **[PASS]** Within 1MB page-weight target
- **[WARNING]** 6 third-party resources (99% of weight)

### 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 (A — 94/100)

*1 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.

### CSS Performance Depth (A+ — 100/100)

*No CSS performance depth issues detected*

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

---

## Content Quality

### Links (B — 80/100)

*200 links checked, 196 healthy, 4 broken*

- **[CRITICAL]** 196 of 200 links are healthy
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://smn.wikipedia.org/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 429.
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://roa-rup.wikipedia.org/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 429.
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://frp.wikipedia.org/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 429.
- **[CRITICAL]** Broken link: https://atj.wikipedia.org/ — Found in <a href>. Returns HTTP 429.

### Mixed Content (A+ — 100/100)

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

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

### Open Graph (C — 75/100)

*Open Graph tags are partially configured — some improvements recommended.*

- **[CRITICAL]** og:image is not reachable — The og:image URL could not be fetched. Social platforms won't be able to display it.
- **[INFO]** Missing og:url — The og:url tag specifies the canonical URL for the shared content.
- **[INFO]** Missing og:site_name — The og:site_name tag displays the website name in social previews.
- **[INFO]** Missing twitter:card — Without twitter:card, Twitter falls back to Open Graph tags. Adding it gives you more control.

### 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 (C — 70/100)

*2 issues found across 1 images*

- **[WARNING]** All 1 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]** 1 images missing alt text — Alt text is essential for screen readers and SEO. Every meaningful image needs descriptive alt text.

### Autoplay Media (A+ — 100/100)

*No autoplay media on the page*

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

---

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (A+ — 95/100)

*1 A records, 28 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.

### 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*issue: digicert.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog | iodef configured*

- **[PASS]** CAA issue tag present — authorized CA(s): digicert.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog
- **[PASS]** CAA iodef tag present (failed-issuance notifications enabled)

### Reverse DNS (B — 75/100)

*0/2 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR for 185.15.58.224 does not match any cert SAN: text-lb.drmrs.wikimedia.org — 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.
- **[INFO]** PTR for 2a02:ec80:600:ed1a::1 does not match any cert SAN: text-lb.drmrs.wikimedia.org — 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 14ms across 3 resolvers (spread 24ms)*

- **[PASS]** Quad9: 1ms
- **[PASS]** Cloudflare: 16ms
- **[PASS]** Google: 25ms

### Redirect Chain (A — 90/100)

- **[PASS]** Single redirect
- **[INFO]** WWW normalization redirect

### IPv6 Readiness (A+ — 100/100)

*IPv6 reachable (26 ms)*

- **[PASS]** IPv6 is configured and reachable at 2a02:ec80:600:ed1a::1

### 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 (B — 75/100)

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

- **[CRITICAL]** Both www and non-www versions serve content
- **[PASS]** HTTP correctly 301-redirects to HTTPS

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

*wikipedia.org — via MarkMonitor Inc., 25 years, 8 months old*

- **[PASS]** Domain registered until Jan 13, 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: MarkMonitor 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.

- **[WARNING]** width=device-width is not set
- **[PASS]** User zooming is allowed

### Accessibility Statement (B — 70/100)

*No accessibility statement detected*

- **[WARNING]** No accessibility statement detected — Sites are increasingly expected to publish an accessibility statement. Required by EU Web Accessibility Directive 2016/2102 for public-sector bodies; recommended best practice elsewhere. Common URLs: /accessibility, /accessibility-statement, /a11y.

### GDPR Article 13 Disclosures (F — 25/100)

*0 / 8 Art. 13 categories matched in homepage body*

- **[WARNING]** GDPR Article 13 disclosure coverage: 0 / 8 categories — Scanned the homepage body text for GDPR Article 13 disclosures. Matched 0 of 8 categories: . Missing: Data Protection Officer contact (where applicable), Data retention period, Data subject rights (access, erasure, rectification, etc.), Identity / contact details of the data controller, International data transfers, Legal basis for processing, Recipients of personal data, Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Note: this scan does not fetch the privacy policy sub-page; if Article 13 disclosures live there, they are not visible to this check.

### Third-Party Trackers (A+ — 95/100)

*1 trackers detected*

- **[INFO]** 1 third-party trackers detected — Found 1 analytics, 0 advertising, 0 marketing, 0 tag manager, 0 session-replay, 0 heatmap trackers.

### Cookie & Tracker Inventory (B — 84/100)

*5 cookies · 1 trackers · 2 pre-consent*

- **[CRITICAL]** 2 tracking cookie(s) set before consent interaction — Under GDPR ePrivacy Art. 5(3), analytics and advertising cookies require explicit opt-in. These cookies appeared in the server response without any consent step — a likely violation.

- **[INFO]** 1 third-party tracker(s) detected on page

### Tracking Pixel Inventory (A+ — 100/100)

*No tracking pixels detected*

- **[PASS]** No tracking pixels detected

### Browser Fingerprinting (A+ — 100/100)

*No browser-fingerprinting libraries detected*

- **[PASS]** No browser-fingerprinting libraries detected

### Cross-Site Cookies (SameSite=None) (B — 85/100)

*2 cross-site cookie(s) (2 tracking-shaped, 0 essential)*

- **[INFO]** 2 tracking-shaped cross-site cookie(s): NetworkProbeLimit, WMF-Uniq — Cookies with SameSite=None travel in cross-site contexts (third-party iframes, cross-origin POSTs, embedded widgets). With third-party cookies dying in Chrome/Firefox, the legitimate use cases narrowed to SSO + payment widgets + federated auth. Each tracking-shaped cookie surfaced here is a cross-site analytics or ad-tech surface that needs explicit privacy-policy disclosure beyond basic cookie banner consent. Audit each: is it conditional on consent? Does the privacy policy name the recipient + purpose? Switching to SameSite=Lax disables the cross-site travel without breaking same-site analytics.

### Beacon Tracking (sendBeacon) (A+ — 100/100)

*No navigator.sendBeacon usage detected in inline scripts*

- **[PASS]** No navigator.sendBeacon usage detected in inline scripts
