## Security

### Security Headers (A — 85/100)

*8 of 10 headers properly configured*

- **[PASS]** HSTS is enabled with preload
- **[PASS]** X-Content-Type-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** X-Frame-Options is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Referrer-Policy is properly configured
- **[PASS]** Permissions-Policy is set
- **[PASS]** Content-Security-Policy is present
- **[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
- **[INFO]** Domain is not in the Chrome HSTS preload list (status: unknown) — Submit your domain to hstspreload.org to close the trust-on-first-use gap. Requires a preload-ready HSTS header (max-age=31536000+, includeSubDomains, preload).

### Content Security Policy (A+ — 100/100)

*9 of 10 CSP checks passed*

- **[INFO]** Raw CSP policy
- **[PASS]** default-src directive is set
- **[PASS]** No 'unsafe-inline' in script source
- **[PASS]** No 'unsafe-eval' in script source
- **[PASS]** No wildcard in script source
- **[PASS]** object-src is set to 'none'
- **[PASS]** base-uri is properly restricted
- **[PASS]** frame-ancestors directive is set
- **[PASS]** form-action directive is set
- **[PASS]** upgrade-insecure-requests is enabled

### TLS & Certificates (A+ — 100/100)

*TLS 1.3, 9 checks passed*

- **[PASS]** TLS 1.3 is used
- **[PASS]** Strong cipher suite is used
- **[PASS]** HTTP/2 is negotiated
- **[PASS]** OCSP stapling enabled
- **[PASS]** Certificate is valid (expires in 156 days)
- **[PASS]** Certificate chain has 4 certificates
- **[PASS]** Certificate uses modern signature algorithm
- **[PASS]** Certificate covers 2 domain(s)
- **[PASS]** Certificate is issued by a trusted CA

### Cookie Security (C — 55/100)

*3 cookies analyzed, 4 checks passed*

- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'NEXT_LOCALE' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'NEXT_LOCALE' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'NEXT_LOCALE' has no SameSite attribute — Without an explicit SameSite attribute, browser default behavior varies. Set SameSite=Lax or Strict.
- **[CRITICAL]** Cookie 'geo_country' is missing the Secure flag — Without the Secure flag, this cookie can be sent over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to interception.
- **[WARNING]** Cookie 'geo_country' is missing the HttpOnly flag — Without HttpOnly, this cookie can be accessed by JavaScript, making it vulnerable to XSS-based theft.
- **[PASS]** Cookie 'geo_country' has SameSite=Lax
- **[PASS]** Cookie '__cf_bm' has the Secure flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie '__cf_bm' has the HttpOnly flag
- **[PASS]** Cookie '__cf_bm' has SameSite=None

### Cookie Hygiene (A+ — 100/100)

*All 3 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks*

- **[PASS]** All 3 cookie(s) pass hygiene checks

### WAF / Bot Protection (A — 90/100)

*Cloudflare*

- **[PASS]** Cloudflare detected — Detected via: cf-ray: a54b499cad6275de-CDG

### 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)

*No new-tab links found -- no tabnabbing surface*

- **[PASS]** No new-tab links present

### CSP Inline-Style Readiness (C — 75/100)

*20 inline style attribute(s) detected*

- **[WARNING]** 20 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. 20 inline style(s) is moderate. Affected element types include: div, img, span, picture. 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) (B — 95/100)

*Trusted Types not enabled*

- **[INFO]** Trusted Types not enabled — Trusted Types (CSP3) is a Chrome 83+ defense that requires DOM-XSS sinks (innerHTML, document.write, eval, ...) to receive a typed-and-sanitized value rather than a raw string. Adding `Content-Security-Policy: require-trusted-types-for 'script'; trusted-types default` neutralizes most DOM-XSS even when a payload reaches a sink. Adoption is currently ~0.1% of pages so this is informational; a roll-out usually starts in report-only mode.

### 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 (0/8 third-party resources)*

- **[WARNING]** SRI adoption: 0/8 third-party resources protected (0%) — Of 8 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 5 examples):
  - https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-P52E9JTP7V&cx=c&gtm=4e6au1
  - https://tr.snapchat.com/config/uk/d47f383d-d37c-40a2-b69b-d7dac6f352e0.js?v=3.61.0-2610191940
  - https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-WRQNFFFZ
  - https://scripts.clarity.ms/0.8.77-beta/clarity.js
  - https://www.clarity.ms/tag/x4tn5367fu

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+ — 100/100)

*No CORS response headers -- the resource is same-origin-only by browser default*

- **[PASS]** No CORS response headers -- the resource is same-origin-only by browser default

### Permissions-Policy Granularity (D — 50/100)

*30% high-risk feature coverage (3/10)*

- **[WARNING]** Permissions-Policy covers 3/10 high-risk features (30%) — The Permissions-Policy header explicitly declares policies for 3/10 high-risk features.

Covered: camera, microphone, geolocation

Not declared (default-allow): payment, usb, serial, midi, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer

The non-declared features fall back to their spec-default policy (usually `self`), which means an XSS-injected or compromised iframe could request them. For features the page genuinely doesn't use, declare `feature=()` to fully close them.

### Referrer-Policy Strictness (A+ — 100/100)

*Referrer-Policy is `same-origin` (strict -- Referer sent only on same-origin requests)*

- **[PASS]** Referrer-Policy: `same-origin` -- strict -- Referer sent only on same-origin requests — Full URL Referer header on same-origin requests; no Referer at all on cross-origin. Strong privacy posture; same-origin analytics still work.

### Source Map Exposure (F — 40/100)

*10 publicly-accessible source map(s) -- full source code leaked*

- **[CRITICAL]** 10 publicly-accessible JavaScript source map(s) — Source maps (.js.map files) reveal the original source code -- variable names, comments, file structure, and sometimes secrets that were stripped from the bundled output. They're shipped to production by mistake almost universally; the standard fix is a build-tool config flag (Webpack: `devtool: false` or `'hidden-source-map'`; Vite: `build.sourcemap: false`; Next.js: `productionBrowserSourceMaps: false`). Once removed, audit your CDN/edge cache to evict any previously-cached .map URLs. Sample accessible URLs (showing 5 of 10): https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/framework-25500088d8b22498.js.map, https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/polyfills-42372ed130431b0a.js.map, https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/90112-2ea416f32fcfc051.js.map, https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/main-e30ada0fb6f9f3ed.js.map, https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/96959-a24efc50bf9574de.js.map.

### 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 8 external resources have SRI*

- **[WARNING]** External script from www.googletagmanager.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from tr.snapchat.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from www.googletagmanager.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from scripts.clarity.ms lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from www.clarity.ms lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from assets.adobedtm.com lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from sc-static.net lacks integrity attribute — Without SRI, if this CDN is compromised, attackers could inject malicious code.
- **[WARNING]** External script from assets.adobedtm.com 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*

- **[PASS]** security.txt is present — good practice
- **[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 (B — 75/100)

*3 directives, 2 missing*

- **[PASS]** camera=() — blocked for all origins
- **[PASS]** microphone=() — blocked for all origins
- **[PASS]** geolocation=() — blocked for all origins
- **[INFO]** payment not restricted — Consider adding payment=() to block payment access from embedded content.
- **[INFO]** usb not restricted — Consider adding usb=() to block usb access from embedded content.

### CORS Configuration (B — 80/100)

*No CORS headers*

- **[PASS]** No CORS headers present — secure default

## Performance

### Page Weight Budget (F — 36/100)

*2.7 MB transferred, 163 requests*

- **[WARNING]** Page weighs 7.4 MB (2.7 MB transferred)
- **[WARNING]** JavaScript is 1.5 MB — consider code splitting or lazy loading — Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
- **[INFO]** Fonts are 277 KB — consider subsetting or using system fonts — Subset fonts to include only used characters, or switch to system font stacks.
- **[WARNING]** 163 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing — Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 0.57 g CO2 per page load

### Third-Party Impact (B — 70/100)

*42% third-party, 0 ms blocking*

- **[INFO]** Third-party code accounts for 42% of page weight (1.1 MiB of 2.7 MiB)
- **[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 (C — 60/100)

*47 images, 0 KB saveable*

- **[WARNING]** https://cms-assets.ldsvcplatform.com/UK/s3fs-publi... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.
- **[WARNING]** https://cms-assets.ldsvcplatform.com/UK/s3fs-publi... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.
- **[WARNING]** https://cms-assets.ldsvcplatform.com/UK/s3fs-publi... is missing width/height — may cause layout shift — Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

### JS Execution Cost (F — 20/100)

*5146ms total JS execution*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/f...: 972ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** Unattributable: 568ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/p...: 541ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/en/: 457ms CPU time
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-P52E...: 349ms CPU time
- **[INFO]** Third-party scripts: 1220ms (24% of total)

### Font Loading (A+ — 100/100)

*5 fonts (277 KB)*

- **[INFO]** 5 font(s) use font-display: swap (FOUT risk but functional)

### JS Bundles (F — 20/100)

*61 scripts, 600 KB unused*

- **[WARNING]** https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/p...: 252 KB unused (52%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-P52E...: 76 KB unused (39%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-WRQ...: 61 KB unused (48%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/2...: 43 KB unused (93%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[WARNING]** https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/chunks/6...: 33 KB unused (95%) — Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.
- **[INFO]** Total unused JavaScript: 600 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 (A — 90/100)

*24 hints, 0 missing preconnects*

- **[INFO]** 2 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://cms-assets.ldsvcplatform.com, https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com. Remove the redundant dns-prefetch entries.
- **[INFO]** 6 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: /_next/static/media/Account.ec46a854.svg (preload+preload), /_next/static/media/Cart.c7614522.svg (preload+preload), https://cms-assets.ldsvcplatform.com (preconnect+dns-prefetch) (+3 more).
- **[PASS]** Page uses 24 resource hint(s)

### HTTP/3 (QUIC) (A+ — 100/100)

*HTTP/3 advertised via Alt-Svc*

- **[PASS]** HTTP/3 (QUIC) is supported — First-load mobile users on cellular networks see meaningful latency improvements with HTTP/3. The QUIC transport collapses TLS + TCP handshakes into one and recovers faster from packet loss.

### Document Compression (A+ — 100/100)

*Document response uses brotli*

- **[PASS]** Main HTML response uses brotli (Content-Encoding: br) — Brotli is the best text-compression algorithm for general use, ~20% smaller than gzip on average (40% on smaller files). Modern browsers all support it.

### Asset Compression

*No text asset hosts to measure*

- **[INFO]** No third-party or subdomain host served enough text assets to measure — Asset compression is measured per host, from one HEAD request against a sampled resource. Pages that serve all their JS and CSS from the document's own origin are covered by the document compression check instead.

### 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 uses no-store -- correct for sensitive/dynamic content*

- **[PASS]** Main HTML uses no-store -- correct for sensitive/dynamic content

### Server-Timing Observability (B — 85/100)

*No Server-Timing header found*

- **[INFO]** No Server-Timing header found — Server-Timing exposes backend timing breakdowns to browser DevTools (e.g., `db: 45ms; render: 120ms; cache: 2ms`). Useful for diagnosing slow pages without backend log access. Most modern frameworks (Next.js, Cloudflare Workers, Fastly) emit it automatically; absence on a managed platform usually means telemetry headers are stripped at the edge.

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

*2 server-response signal(s) detected*

- **[PASS]** `Vary` header declared: Accept-Encoding — The page declares a `Vary` header, telling downstream caches which request headers the response varies on. Critical for content-negotiated responses (compression, language, cookies, device class).
- **[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 (F — 30/100)

*163 resources · 2.7 MB · 600 KB savings available*

- **[WARNING]** Page weight 2.7 MB exceeds 1 MB target by 1.7 MB
- **[INFO]** ~600 KB of savings available
- **[WARNING]** 50 third-party resources (42% 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 5.1 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]** 32 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 (A+ — 100/100)

*177 links checked, 177 healthy, 0 broken*

- **[PASS]** 177 of 177 links are healthy

### Mixed Content (A+ — 100/100)

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

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

### Open Graph (A — 90/100)

*Open Graph tags are well configured for social sharing.*

- **[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.

### 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 (A — 90/100)

*1 JSON-LD block(s) found — structured data is well configured.*

- **[WARNING]** Missing required property "name" for Organization — The "name" property is required for the Organization schema type.
- **[INFO]** Missing recommended property "url" for Organization — Adding "url" can improve how search engines display your content.
- **[INFO]** Missing recommended property "logo" for Organization — Adding "logo" can improve how search engines display your content.
- **[INFO]** Missing recommended property "sameAs" for Organization — Adding "sameAs" can improve how search engines display your content.

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

*1 JSON-LD block(s) declaring 5 schema type(s)*

- **[PASS]** 5 rich-result schema type(s) declared — Inventory of structured-data types on the page (each may unlock a different SERP feature):

Product (×3), BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage, WebSite

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 (F — 20/100)

*8 issues found across 100 images*

- **[WARNING]** 17 images significantly larger than display size — Resizing to display dimensions could save approximately 0 KB.
- **[WARNING]** 13 images missing explicit width/height — Images without dimensions cause layout shifts (CLS). Set explicit width and height attributes.
- **[INFO]** 20 below-fold images missing loading="lazy" — Lazy loading defers below-fold images, reducing initial page weight.
- **[INFO]** 36 of 100 images use legacy formats
- **[WARNING]** 1 images missing alt text — Alt text is essential for screen readers and SEO. Every meaningful image needs descriptive alt text.
- **[WARNING]** 8 above-fold image(s) marked loading="lazy" (LCP anti-pattern) — Above-fold images marked lazy delay LCP -- the browser waits for the IntersectionObserver to fire before fetching, even though the image is in the initial viewport. Remove `loading="lazy"` on above-the-fold images (especially the LCP candidate). Sample: https://www.lycamobile.co.uk/_next/static/media/slider_left_arrow.e4901b64.svg, https://cms-assets.ldsvcplatform.com/UK/s3fs-public/2026-09/DDR-3937%20Website%20homepage%20banner%20Port%20In%201920x500_1_5x.webp?VersionId=J0lj.n2t8inscZxjASOvXbofUId8XO27, https://cms-assets.ldsvcplatform.com/UK/s3fs-public/2026-10/HP_Banner_1920x500_WEB_EN.webp?VersionId=DSpOyFuK79T4Wd7EM83S7DRzaX4ta3yN (+5 more).
- **[INFO]** 8 image(s) wider than 400px without srcset (no responsive serving) — These images deliver the same asset to every viewport (mobile, tablet, retina). Adding srcset / <picture> lets the browser pick a viewport-appropriate variant and typically saves 40-70% of bytes on mobile.

- **[INFO]** 8 image(s) rendered at a different aspect ratio than the source — The displayed dimensions distort the source -- CSS is forcing the image into a container at the wrong ratio, producing visible stretching or squashing. Either crop the source to match or use object-fit: cover (and accept the crop).

## Infrastructure

### DNS Records (B — 80/100)

*2 A records, 33 ms lookup*

- **[PASS]** Resolves to 2 IPv4 address(es)
- **[PASS]** Has 2 IPv6 (AAAA) record(s)
- **[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: 33 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. Required by CAB Forum baseline since 2017; the default of 'any CA' is widely supported but is the broader attack surface for issuance fraud.

### Reverse DNS (C — 60/100)

*0/4 IPs match cert SAN*

- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 104.18.6.119: lookup 104.18.6.119: no such host — No reverse DNS record set for this IP. Common on bare cloud-VM IPs without provider-side PTR; not a security issue.
- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 104.18.7.119: lookup 104.18.7.119: no such host — No reverse DNS record set for this IP. Common on bare cloud-VM IPs without provider-side PTR; not a security issue.
- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 2606:4700::6812:777: lookup 2606:4700::6812:777: no such host — No reverse DNS record set for this IP. Common on bare cloud-VM IPs without provider-side PTR; not a security issue.
- **[INFO]** PTR lookup failed for 2606:4700::6812:677: lookup 2606:4700::6812:677: no such host — No reverse DNS record set for this IP. Common on bare cloud-VM IPs without provider-side PTR; not a security issue.

- **[PASS]** HTTP correctly redirects to HTTPS permanently

### Domain Intelligence (A — 90/100)

*lycamobile.co.uk — via Key-Systems GmbH, 21 years old, hosted on AWS*

- **[WARNING]** Domain expires in 82 days — Consider enabling auto-renewal to prevent accidental expiration.
- **[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: Key-Systems GmbH
- **[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.

*privacy policy found*

- **[PASS]** Privacy policy link found
- **[PASS]** Terms of service link found
- **[INFO]** No cookie consent banner detected
- **[WARNING]** 2 unclassified cookie(s) set before any consent step — These cookies could not be matched to a known tracker or to a known essential-cookie family, so the scanner cannot tell whether consent was required. Verify each is strictly necessary; if any is analytics or advertising, it needs consent first. Unrecognized (treated as non-essential): NEXT_LOCALE, geo_country
- **[INFO]** This is an automated check, not legal advice — BeaverCheck detects technical indicators of consent management. This does not constitute a legal compliance assessment. Consult a privacy professional for GDPR/CCPA compliance.

tag-manager: Google Tag Manager | analytics: Google Analytics 4 | session-replay: Microsoft Clarity

Each entry maps a script URL pattern to a known vendor SDK. This is purely informational -- consent posture / pre-consent firing is graded by the consent analyzer.

### Language & i18n (A — 90/100)

*Lang attribute present*

- **[PASS]** <html lang> attribute is present
- **[PASS]** <html lang> value is valid
- **[INFO]** No Content-Language HTTP header
- **[INFO]** Language signals are inconsistent — The <html lang> attribute and Content-Language header should agree.

### Hreflang Configuration (A — 92/100)

*1 hreflang issue(s) across 1 tag(s)*

- **[INFO]** No `x-default` hreflang tag — Google recommends including `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="...">` so search engines have a fallback URL for users whose language / region doesn't match any specific hreflang entry. Typically points to a language-selection page or your default locale.

### Internationalization Extras (A+ — 100/100)

*No additional i18n signals detected*

- **[PASS]** No additional i18n signals detected

- **[PASS]** User zooming is allowed

### Accessibility Statement (A — 85/100)

*Statement found, no conformance level*

- **[INFO]** Accessibility statement found but lacks WCAG conformance level — Mature accessibility statements declare a target conformance level (e.g., WCAG 2.1 AA). Without a stated level, users and reviewers cannot tell what the statement actually commits to.

### 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 AND the linked /privacy page 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: only the FIRST same-origin privacy-policy link is followed; deeper sub-pages (e.g. /legal/data-subject-rights) are not fetched.

### Third-Party Trackers (B — 75/100)

*5 trackers detected*

- **[INFO]** 5 third-party trackers detected — Found 2 analytics, 0 advertising, 0 marketing, 2 tag manager, 1 session-replay, 0 heatmap trackers.
- **[WARNING]** 1 session-replay tool(s) detected (Microsoft Clarity) — Session-replay tools record what users type, click, and scroll. Under GDPR these are high-risk processing requiring explicit consent and (per UK ICO and French CNIL guidance) often a Data Protection Impact Assessment. Mask sensitive form fields and gate firing on user consent.

### Cookie & Tracker Inventory (A+ — 100/100)

*3 cookies · 5 trackers · 0 pre-consent*

- **[INFO]** 1 cookie(s) could not be classified

*No browser-fingerprinting libraries detected*

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

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

*1 cross-site cookie(s) (1 tracking-shaped, 0 essential)*

- **[INFO]** 1 tracking-shaped cross-site cookie(s): __cf_bm — 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

### Sitemap Freshness (C — 70/100)

*Sitemap exists but no <lastmod> entries*

- **[INFO]** Sitemap has no <lastmod> entries — Without lastmod, Google can't tell which URLs have changed since the last crawl -- it falls back to crawling everything periodically.

- **[INFO]** `<meta charset>` declared at byte 101998 -- past the 1024-byte spec window — The HTML5 spec requires the encoding declaration to appear in the first 1024 bytes. Browsers that started parsing in a default encoding and discover the real charset later DISCARD parsing state and re-parse from the top -- a measurable hit to First Contentful Paint. Move the `<meta charset>` tag to be the first child of `<head>`.

### CO2 Per Page Load (B — 70/100)

*0.64g CO2 per view*

- **[INFO]** 0.64g CO2 per page view — This page transfers 2.7 MB, producing an estimated 0.64g of CO2 per visit using the Sustainable Web Design model (v4). Breakdown: data center 0.02g, network 0.13g, end-user device 0.49g.
- **[INFO]** At 10,000 monthly views: 76.9 kg CO2/year — With 10,000 page views per month, this page would generate approximately 76.9 kg of CO2 annually — equivalent to charging 9615 smartphones.
- **[PASS]** Green hosting reduces data center emissions

### Green Hosting (A — 85/100)

*Green (cdn)*

- **[PASS]** Cloudflare CDN uses renewable energy — Since most traffic is served through the CDN, the majority of data transfer energy is renewable.
- **[INFO]** Cloudflare: 100% renewable energy for global network since 2019
- **[INFO]** Green hosting status based on known provider commitments — Green hosting detection uses a curated database of provider renewable energy commitments. This is not a real-time verification. For authoritative checks, visit thegreenwebfoundation.org.

### Repeat Visit Weight (A+ — 100/100)

*99% cached*

- **[PASS]** 99% reduction on repeat visits — Returning visitors download only 23 KB (vs 2773 KB first visit). 161 of 163 resources are served from browser cache, saving 0.64g CO2 per repeat visit.
- **[INFO]** Repeat visit: 0.01g CO2 (first visit: 0.64g)

### Carbon Budget (D — 50/100)

*51th percentile*

- **[WARNING]** 0.64g CO2 — above the median website (0.60g) — Heavier than an estimated 49% of websites. Reducing page weight, optimizing images, and removing unused JavaScript would lower the carbon footprint. See the Performance tab.
- **[INFO]** Estimated 51th percentile — Compared to: top 10% = 0.20g, target = 0.50g, median = 0.60g per page view.

### Transfer Efficiency (B — 80/100)

*78% efficient*

- **[INFO]** Transfer efficiency: 78% — An estimated 600 KB (22%) could be eliminated: 0 KB via better compression, 0 KB via modern image formats, 600 KB of unused JavaScript. This wasted data produces 0.14g of unnecessary CO2 per page view.

### 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.
