# BeaverCheck Audit Report — https://metro.co.uk **Date:** April 15, 2026 **URL:** https://metro.co.uk **Overall Grade:** C (71/100) **Report:** https://beavercheck.com/results/fd755c7f-a0d6-4aed-a4a6-7ee80cde14c4 ## Top Findings 1. **[CRITICAL]** Content-Security-Policy header is missing — Security > Security Headers 2. **[CRITICAL]** No Content-Security-Policy header found — Security > Content Security Policy 3. **[CRITICAL]** Page weighs 14.6 MB (6.5 MB transferred) — Performance > Page Weight Budget 4. **[CRITICAL]** 10 control(s) without accessible label — Accessibility > Form Accessibility 5. **[CRITICAL]** 34 image-only link(s) without alt text — Accessibility > Link & Button Quality --- ## Lighthouse Scores | Category | Score | |----------|-------| | Performance | 55 | | Accessibility | 81 | | Best Practices | 77 | | SEO | 85 | --- ## Security ### Security Headers (F — 20/100) *1 of 10 headers properly configured* - **[WARNING]** HSTS is missing includeSubDomains — Without includeSubDomains, subdomains can still be accessed over HTTP. - **[WARNING]** X-Content-Type-Options header is missing — This header prevents MIME-type sniffing, which can lead to XSS attacks. Set it to 'nosniff'. - **[WARNING]** X-Frame-Options header is missing — This header prevents clickjacking by controlling who can embed your page in a frame. Set it to DENY or SAMEORIGIN. - **[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.
