Screenshots
Top Priorities (5)
'unsafe-eval' found in script source
Unsafe value (unsafe-inline, unsafe-eval) in script-src defeats CSP's main protection — XSS injections can execute again.
'unsafe-inline' found in script source
Unsafe value (unsafe-inline, unsafe-eval) in script-src defeats CSP's main protection — XSS injections can execute again.
Cookie 'nyt-gdpr' is missing the Secure flag
A cookie without the Secure flag can leak over HTTP — in HSTS-protected sites, this is still a defense-in-depth gap.
Page weighs 27.6 MB (16.6 MB transferred)
Informational: total page weight (uncompressed) and bytes actually transferred over the wire.
20 link(s) with no accessible text
Links with no accessible text (empty <a></a>, image-only no alt, icon-only no aria-label) are unidentifiable to screen readers.
Business case
What fixing the audit's findings is worth -- and what ignoring them keeps costing.
Return on investment
€1,084 investment → €5,721/month returns + EUR 500,000 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
6 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~26%.
- Page takes 29.4s to loadUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 26.9s over the 2.5s threshold→ Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
- Page feels frozen for 4.9sClicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs→ Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration
- No Content-Security-Policy headerHigher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form→ Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean
- Content is hard to readGraduate-level reading difficulty — limits the addressable audience for product or blog pages→ Shorten sentences; replace jargon with plain language; target Flesch ease ≥60
- 20 link(s) with generic text ("click here", "read more")Screen-reader users navigating by link list see no context — and search engines can't infer relevance→ Rewrite with descriptive phrases that identify the destination
Preliminary CRO audit — each barrier links to the tab with detailed analysis.

Observations (3)
WordPress detected — review security configuration
WordPress sites benefit from: protecting wp-login.php, disabling XML-RPC if unused, restricting REST API access, and keeping all plugins and themes up to date. Check the Security tab for specific findings.
No build tool detected
A framework (Amazon Route 53) 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.
Complex technology stack detected
20 technologies identified. A complex stack increases maintenance burden and attack surface. Consider whether all components are actively needed.
