SEO & Technical Issues (9)
Missing Content Security Policy headercriticalSecurity~5 min fix
Add a Content-Security-Policy header to prevent XSS and injection attacks.
Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';" always;
# Apache (.htaccess):
Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';"
# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Content-Security-Policy', value: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'" }Content-Security-Policy prevents XSS attacks by controlling which resources the browser can load.
Missing X-Frame-Options headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix
Set X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking attacks.
Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'X-Frame-Options', value: 'SAMEORIGIN' }X-Frame-Options prevents clickjacking by controlling who can embed your page in an iframe.
Missing Referrer Policy headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix
Add a Referrer-Policy header to control information leakage.
Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin" always;
# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Referrer-Policy', value: 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' }Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests, protecting user privacy.
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=()' }Permissions-Policy restricts which browser features your site can use, reducing attack surface.
Title tag too longwarningSEO
Your title is 65 characters. Keep it under 60 for best display in search results.
1 form input may lack labelswarningAccessibility
Form inputs should have associated labels or aria-label attributes so screen readers can identify them.
Skipped heading levelwarningAccessibility
Heading hierarchy jumps from H2 to H4. Don't skip heading levels — this confuses screen readers and assistive technology.
Large HTML documentwarningPerformance
Your HTML is 239KB. Large HTML documents take longer to parse. Consider lazy loading content or splitting into multiple pages.
No skip navigation linkinfoAccessibility~5 min fix
Add a 'Skip to main content' link at the top of the page so keyboard users can bypass repetitive navigation.
Quick Fix
<!-- Add as the first element inside <body> -->
<a href="#main-content" class="sr-only focus:not-sr-only focus:absolute focus:top-2 focus:left-2 focus:z-50 focus:px-4 focus:py-2 focus:bg-blue-600 focus:text-white focus:rounded">
Skip to main content
</a>
<!-- Add id to your main content area -->
<main id="main-content">
...
</main>Skip links let keyboard users bypass repetitive navigation and jump straight to content.
