Add common public security headers
Why this needs attention
Several basic browser protection headers were not visible.
These headers reduce avoidable browser-side risk and show a baseline of care before launch.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Detected 0 of 5 common public security controls. Present: none. Missing: strict-transport-security, content-security-policy, x-content-type-options, frame protection (x-frame-options or content-security-policy frame-ancestors), referrer-policy.
Priority
Priority 5: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Fix Prompt
Fix rendered axe accessibility violations
Why this needs attention
The rendered page has accessibility rule violations detected by axe-core.
axe checks the actual browser-rendered page, so these issues can affect people using keyboards, screen readers, or other assistive technology.
Recommended correction
Evidence
axe found 3 violation rule(s), including 0 serious or critical rule(s), plus 1 result(s) that require review. Top rules: heading-order (1), landmark-unique (1), region (1).
Priority
Priority 5: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Affected elements
Heading levels should only increase by one
Fix any of the following: Heading order invalid
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination
Fix any of the following: The landmark must have a unique aria-label, aria-labelledby, or title to make landmarks distinguishable
All page content should be contained by landmarks
Fix any of the following: Some page content is not contained by landmarks
Fix Prompt

A canonical tag reduces duplicate URL confusion before marketing links start spreading.
Recommended correction
Evidence

Priority
Priority 9: fix during launch polish.
Fix Prompt

Why this needs attention
The page heading structure is either missing a single main heading or skips heading levels.
Clear headings help visitors, search engines, and assistive technology understand the page quickly.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Detected 1 H1 heading(s) and 17 total headings.
Priority
Priority 9: fix during launch polish.
Fix Prompt
Fix heading order
Why this needs attention

Ready combines robots policy, a bounded synthetic User-Agent fetch, indexability, and snippet eligibility. Synthetic probes do not prove vendor-origin traffic. Preference states are training or data-use choices and do not lower the AEO score.
The image refreshes from FreeScan after a completed rescan. Clicking it always opens the newest public report saved for this exact scanned URL.
Scan evidence is included as untrusted data. The implementation brief instructs agents to verify findings before editing and to avoid destructive or speculative changes.
