Found 15 of 110 images without alt attributes. Alt text is critical for accessibility (screen readers) and SEO (image search).

Missing Permissions Policy headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix

Add a Permissions-Policy header to control browser feature access.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Permissions-Policy "camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()" always;

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Permissions-Policy', value: 'camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()' }
