## Security

### Security Headers (D — 50/100)

*5 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[PASS]** Strict-Transport-Security is properly configured
- **[PASS]** X-Content-Type-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** X-Frame-Options is properly configured
- **[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 not present
- **[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 38 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 2 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 1 domain(s)
- **[PASS]** Certificate is issued by a trusted CA

### Cookie Security (D — 40/100)

*6 cookies analyzed, 2 checks passed*

- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'uscc' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'uscc' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'uscc' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'uscd' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'uscd' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'uscd' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'x-rid' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'x-rid' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'x-rid' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'request_id' has the Secure flag
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'request_id' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'request_id' has SameSite=Strict
- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'urefs' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'urefs' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'urefs' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'uscv' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'uscv' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'uscv' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.

### Cookie Hygiene (A+ — 100/100)

*All 6 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks*

- **[PASS]** All 6 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*All 12 new-tab link(s) carry rel=noopener*

- **[PASS]** All 12 new-tab link(s) carry rel=noopener

### CSP Inline-Style Readiness (D — 60/100)

*51 inline style attribute(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 51 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. 51 inline style(s) is high. Affected element types include: div, svg, img, span, footer. 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

### Bot Challenge Detection (A+ — 100/100)

*Scan reached real page content (no bot-protection interstitial)*

- **[PASS]** No bot-protection interstitial detected -- the rest of the report reflects the real page

### Soft-404 Detection (A+ — 100/100)

*No soft-404 patterns detected in page title or headings*

- **[PASS]** No soft-404 patterns detected in page title or headings

### 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://fusion-id.rvu.co.uk/client.js

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 — 90/100)

*1 CORS depth signal(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** CORS allows any origin (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`) — Any website can fetch this URL via JavaScript and read the response body. Acceptable for genuinely public APIs (e.g. CDN-served static assets). Risky if the URL returns user-specific or session-derived data, since other origins can scrape it via the user's browser without needing credentials. Narrow Allow-Origin to a specific origin allow-list when the response is sensitive.

### Permissions-Policy Granularity (C — 60/100)

*No Permissions-Policy header set -- powerful features (camera / microphone / geolocation / payment / USB) default to allow-on-same-origin*

- **[WARNING]** Permissions-Policy header not set -- features default to allow-on-same-origin — Without a `Permissions-Policy` (or legacy `Feature-Policy`) header, every powerful browser feature defaults to its spec default policy (typically `self`). A third-party iframe injected via XSS or a misconfigured embed can still request access to the user's camera, microphone, geolocation, payment APIs, USB devices, etc. Explicitly deny features the page doesn't need:

```
Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=(), payment=(), usb=(), accelerometer=(), gyroscope=()
```

Features the page legitimately uses can stay enabled with `feature=(self)`.

### Referrer-Policy Strictness (B — 75/100)

*Referrer-Policy header not set -- browser default applies (modern: strict-origin-when-cross-origin; legacy browsers: no-referrer-when-downgrade)*

- **[INFO]** Referrer-Policy header not set -- browser default applies — Without an explicit `Referrer-Policy` header, the browser falls back to its default policy. Modern browsers (Chrome 85+, Firefox 87+, Safari 15+) default to `strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, which is privacy-safe. Legacy browsers default to the leaky `no-referrer-when-downgrade`, which sends the full URL (including path + query) on cross-origin HTTPS-to-HTTPS requests. Set an explicit header to ensure consistent behavior:

```
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
```

This matches the modern browser default and is privacy-safe without breaking referrer-based same-origin analytics.

### 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 fusion-id.rvu.co.uk 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 (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 (C — 60/100)

*Origin: **

- **[INFO]** Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * — unrestricted — Any website can read this resource's response. Appropriate for public APIs but not for user-specific content.
- **[INFO]** Origin reflection not testable with a single request — Some servers reflect the request Origin header. This requires manual testing with a crafted Origin header.

## Performance

### Page Weight Budget (C — 61/100)

*1.8 MB transferred, 342 requests*

- **[INFO]** Page weighs 5.0 MB (1.8 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 974 KB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[WARNING]** 342 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing — Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 0.38 g CO2 per page load

- **[WARNING]** https://img.uswitch.com/s3/uswitch-assets-eu/broad... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*4937ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.uswitch.com/broadband/: 1202ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://fusion-id.uswitch.com/b9xj3w?apiKey=QUYetZ...: 1097ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 1050ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.uswitch.com/s3/uswitch-includes-produc...: 463ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** https://www.uswitch.com/s3/uswitch-assets-eu/build...: 236ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Third-party scripts: 2147ms (43% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*1 fonts (36 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 1 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (C — 60/100)

*270 scripts, 179 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.uswitch.com/s3/uswitch-includes-produc...: 88 KB unused (76%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.uswitch.com/s3/uswitch-includes-produc...: 44 KB unused (56%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.uswitch.com/s3/uswitch-assets-eu/broad...: 24 KB unused (43%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.uswitch.com/s3/uswitch-assets-eu/build...: 22 KB unused (83%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 179 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 (B — 82/100)

*25 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[INFO]** 11 preconnect hints -- excessive (recommended: <=6) — Each preconnect eagerly opens a TCP+TLS connection. On slow networks or low-end devices, too many parallel connections cause head-of-line blocking and starve the connections that matter for LCP. Trim to the 4-6 highest-value origins (the ones serving render-blocking or LCP resources).
- **[INFO]** 11 dns-prefetch redundant with preconnect on same origin — preconnect already does the DNS lookup; adding dns-prefetch to the same origin is at best a no-op. Sample: https://img.uswitch.com, https://www.googletagmanager.com, https://www.google-analytics.com (+8 more). Remove the redundant dns-prefetch entries.
- **[INFO]** 11 URL(s) appear in multiple hints — The same href shouldn't appear in multiple hint rels -- one wins, the others are wasted markup and may confuse cache behavior. Sample: //img.uswitch.com (dns-prefetch+dns-prefetch), https://bat.bing.com (preconnect+dns-prefetch), https://sa.uswitch.com (preconnect+dns-prefetch) (+8 more).
- **[PASS]** Page uses 25 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*Main HTML max-age=0 (≤ 5min) is appropriate*

- **[PASS]** Main HTML max-age=0 (≤ 5min) is appropriate

### Server-Timing Observability (A+ — 100/100)

*2 Server-Timing entries advertised*

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

### Server Response Intelligence (A+ — 95/100)

*1 server-response signal(s) detected*

- **[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 (C — 60/100)

*342 resources · 1.8 MB · 179 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 1.8 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 853 KB
- **[INFO]** ~179 KB of savings available
- **[INFO]** 49 third-party resources (11% of weight)
- **[INFO]** 1 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 (A — 90/100)

*1 JS blocking issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** Total JS execution time is 4.9 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 — 88/100)

*1 CSS depth issue(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 19 render-blocking stylesheet(s) -- recommended: <=3 — Each `<link rel="stylesheet">` without a non-blocking `media` attribute holds up the first paint. Browsers download all of them before painting any content. Consolidate into 1-2 critical-path stylesheets; defer non-critical CSS via `<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" onload="this.media='all'">` or via the loadCSS pattern; inline above-the-fold CSS in `<style>` to short-circuit the request entirely.

## Content Quality

### Links (C — 70/100)

*200 links checked, 194 healthy, 6 broken*

- **[CRITICAL]** 194 of 200 links are healthy
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://img.uswitch.com — Found in <link href>. Returns HTTP 404.
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://www.googletagmanager.com — Found in <link href>. Returns HTTP 404.
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://www.googleadservices.com — Found in <link href>. Returns HTTP 404.
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://c1.adalyser.com — Found in <link href>. Returns HTTP 404.
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://sa.uswitch.com — Found in <link href>. Returns HTTP 405.
- **[WARNING]** Broken link: https://fusion-events.uswitch.com — Found in <link href>. Returns HTTP 405.

### 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 — 50/100)

*Open Graph tags need attention — social sharing previews may be incomplete.*

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

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

*OG image dimensions and Twitter card configuration look healthy*

- **[PASS]** OG/Twitter Card depth is clean -- dimensions, card type, and inheritance all valid

### Structured Data (B — 85/100)

*4 JSON-LD block(s) found — some improvements recommended.*

- **[WARNING]** Missing or invalid @context in block #1 — The @context should be "https://schema.org" for search engines to recognize the data.
- **[INFO]** Missing recommended property "description" for Product — Adding "description" can improve how search engines display your content.
- **[PASS]** Custom type "WebPage" — unable to validate specific properties
- **[PASS]** Custom type "Quotation" — unable to validate specific properties
- **[PASS]** 4 JSON-LD blocks found

### Rich Results Eligibility (A+ — 100/100)

*4 JSON-LD block(s) declaring 4 schema type(s)*

- **[PASS]** 4 rich-result schema type(s) declared — Inventory of structured-data types on the page (each may unlock a different SERP feature):

FAQPage, Product, Quotation, WebPage

Search engines decide whether to render rich results based on content quality + page-level signals; declaring the schema is necessary but not sufficient.

### Image Optimization (A+ — 100/100)

*No images to analyze*


### Autoplay Media (A+ — 100/100)

*No autoplay media on the page*

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

---

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (B — 80/100)

*4 A records, 24 ms lookup*

- **[PASS]** Resolves to 4 IPv4 address(es)
- **[INFO]** No IPv6 (AAAA) records
- **[WARNING]** CNAME record at zone apex — A CNAME at the zone apex can break MX and NS records. Use ALIAS/ANAME or A records instead.
- **[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: 24 ms

### Subdomain Takeover (A+ — 100/100)

*No subdomain takeover risk detected*

- **[PASS]** CNAME does not point at a known takeover-able service

### 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.

*2 title-style issue(s) detected*

- **[INFO]** Title uses 2 different separator characters: :, - — The page title `Broadband Deals: Compare in May 2026 - Uswitch` uses multiple separator characters (:, -). Consistent separator use is a soft signal of careful editorial control; mixed separators usually mean the title was assembled from multiple template fragments (CMS title + brand + section) without a normalization step. Pick one separator (commonly `|`, `-`, or `:`) and stick with it across the whole site.
- **[INFO]** Title contains year "2026" -- consider whether it's still current — The page title contains the year `2026`. Year-in-title is a common SEO tactic for "best of YEAR" / "top X in YEAR" content -- the title looks fresh in search results when the year is current, but signals stale content when the year is past. Verify the page is being maintained year-over-year (and the year is updated in titles + content + headings + structured data) or remove the year from the title.

- **[INFO]** At 10,000 monthly views: 62.3 kg CO2/year — With 10,000 page views per month, this page would generate approximately 62.3 kg of CO2 annually — equivalent to charging 7785 smartphones.

### Green Hosting (D — 50/100)

*Unknown*

- **[INFO]** Hosting provider could not be identified — Without knowing the provider, we cannot determine their energy sourcing. Check with your hosting provider about their renewable energy commitments.

### Transfer Efficiency (A+ — 100/100)

*90% efficient*

- **[PASS]** Transfer efficiency: 90% — Only 179 KB of potential savings identified. Your page is well-optimized for size.

### Web Font Weight Variants (B — 90/100)

*No detectable Google Fonts weights*

- **[INFO]** No detectable Google Fonts weights — The analyzer detects font weights via Google Fonts URL parameters (~70% of font-using sites). Self-hosted fonts and non-Google CDN fonts aren't visible to URL-based detection. If you self-host fonts, manually audit how many @font-face weights you ship -- 2-3 weights per family is typically enough; 5+ is usually unused payload.
