Top Priorities (5)

Sorted by impact
Critical: 1

Content-Security-Policy header is missing

Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything your users type — including credentials.

Security › Security Headers
Critical: 2

HSTS header is missing

Without HSTS, a network attacker can downgrade the very first connection to HTTP and steal the user's session.

Security › Security Headers
Critical: 3

No Content-Security-Policy header found

Without a CSP, a single XSS bug can exfiltrate everything users type — credentials, payment data, session tokens.

Security › Content Security Policy
Critical: 4

38 image-only link(s) without alt text

Image-only links with no alt are unidentifiable to screen-reader users — link's destination is invisible.

Accessibility › Link & Button Quality
Critical: 5

4 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.

Accessibility › Alt Text Quality
What fixing these means. Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Accessibility issues exclude users who rely on assistive technology — an estimated 15% of your potential audience. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
3 security gaps detected — browsers may warn visitors about your site.
2 accessibility issues exclude users who rely on assistive technology.

  • Page takes 8.9s to load

    → Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
  • Page feels frozen for 2.1s
    Clicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs
    → Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration
  • 5 broken link(s) on the page
    Clicks land on 404s — trust drops and the session often ends
    → Fix or remove the broken destinations surfaced on the Content tab
  • No HSTS header
    Returning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request
    → Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
  • No Content-Security-Policy header
    Higher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form
    → Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean

Observations (5)

jQuery loaded alongside a modern framework

Both jQuery and React are loaded. Modern frameworks handle DOM manipulation natively. jQuery may be unnecessary and adds ~30KB to the page weight. Check the Performance tab for bundle analysis.

→ Performance

No build tool detected

A framework (Cloudflare Bot Management) 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.

React version may be outdated

Detected React 17.0.2. The current major version is 18. Consider updating for security patches and new features.

→ Security

jQuery version may be outdated

Detected jQuery 1.10.1. The current major version is 3. Consider updating for security patches and new features.

Complex technology stack detected

38 technologies identified. A complex stack increases maintenance burden and attack surface. Consider whether all components are actively needed.
