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.
1 control(s) without accessible label
Form controls without labels — assistive tech announces 'edit text' with no context; users can't complete forms.
24 image(s) missing alt attribute
Each image without alt text is a WCAG 1.1.1 failure — invisible to screen-reader users, lost from Google Image Search.
Business case
What fixing the audit's findings is worth -- and what ignoring them keeps costing.
Return on investment
$875 investment → $9,661/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
10 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~36%.
- Page takes 22.1s to loadUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 19.6s over the 2.5s threshold→ Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
- Page feels frozen for 1.3sClicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs→ Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration
- 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)
- 19 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

Bootstrap version may be outdated
Detected Bootstrap 3.3.7. The current major version is 5. Consider updating for security patches and new features.
Complex technology stack detected
50 technologies identified. A complex stack increases maintenance burden and attack surface. Consider whether all components are actively needed.
