## Check: seo_canonical

## Role
Act as a focused technical SEO, AEO, and crawlability remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve hack-2-hired.onrender.com at https://hack-2-hired.onrender.com.
- Scanner check ID: seo_canonical.
- Fix title: Add a canonical URL.
- Scanner check: Canonical tag.
- Category: SEO / AEO.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 9; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 10 of 10 rule points lost.
- Evidence: No canonical link tag was detected.
- What needs attention: The page does not declare which public URL is the preferred version.
- Why it matters: A canonical tag reduces duplicate URL confusion before marketing links start spreading.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: canonical URL generation, site URL environment variables, routing aliases, trailing slash behavior, and deployment domains; metadata/head configuration, canonical URL logic, robots and sitemap routes, structured data blocks, page copy, headings, and internal navigation; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Add a canonical link tag that points to the final public landing page URL.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Set the canonical link to the preferred final public URL for this page.
- Keep canonical, og:url, sitemap URLs, and redirects aligned where possible.
- Keep all metadata, headings, schema, canonical URLs, and visible copy consistent with the same public facts.
- Use accurate, crawlable, human-visible content as the source for search and answer-engine improvements.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- The public HTML exposes one canonical URL for the scanned page.
- The canonical points to the intended public destination and avoids staging, localhost, tracking parameters, or duplicate variants.
- The public URL exposes the corrected crawl/search/answer signal in rendered HTML or reachable public files.
- The change should be visible to a fresh unauthenticated request and likely improve the related FreeScan SEO / AEO check on rescan.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.
## Output
Return a structured response with these headings: Findings, Changes Made, Verification Results, Rescan Expectation, Rollback Notes, Assumptions.
## Rules
- Ask a clarifying question when required context is missing.
- Preserve the user's intent and avoid inventing facts.
- Verify the issue exists before changing code or content. If the issue is not reproducible, explain what you checked and recommend no code change.
- If the live URL and implementation source disagree, trust the implementation source for edits and use the live URL only to understand current public behavior.
- Keep the change narrowly scoped to this fix unless another change is required to avoid a regression.
- Match the existing framework, style, design system, routing patterns, and content conventions.
- Preserve existing URLs, forms, analytics, SEO metadata, accessibility semantics, and conversion flows unless the fix explicitly requires changing them.
- Do not perform broad refactors, dependency upgrades, redesigns, rewrites, migrations, file deletions, route changes, or destructive commands unless they are explicitly required and approved.
- Make changes that are easy to review and roll back.
- Prefer editing the canonical source of the page over patching built output, generated files, CDN-cached HTML, or minified assets.
- Do not make a cosmetic or placeholder change just to satisfy the scanner; the public page should be materially better for visitors, crawlers, or assistive technology.
- Verify the result with the smallest reliable test, build, browser check, or manual inspection available.
## Safety
- Do not request, expose, or reproduce sensitive data.
- Redact private details from examples unless the user explicitly says they are safe to include.
- Do not use credentials, cookies, authenticated data, hidden form values, or private response bodies.
- Do not weaken security headers, authentication, authorization, privacy controls, accessibility, or error handling to make the scan pass.

## Check: seo_schema_validity

## Role
Act as a focused technical SEO, AEO, and crawlability remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve hack-2-hired.onrender.com at https://hack-2-hired.onrender.com.
- Scanner check ID: seo_schema_validity.
- Fix title: Improve schema quality and validity.
- Scanner check: Schema quality and validity.
- Category: SEO / AEO.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 10; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 1 of 8 rule points lost.
- Evidence: 1 of 1 JSON-LD block(s) parsed. Semantic quality is 85/100: completeness 100/100, graph connectivity 0/100, primary types WebSite, currently useful search-feature types WebSite. Nested types do not count as separate schema coverage.
- What needs attention: The JSON-LD may parse, but its required facts, page-role relevance, visible-content agreement, or graph connections are incomplete.
- Why it matters: Invalid structured data can be ignored by search and answer systems, even when visible page content is strong.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: each application/ld+json block, schema helper, CMS-provided schema field, and any JSON serialization logic; metadata/head configuration, canonical URL logic, robots and sitemap routes, structured data blocks, page copy, headings, and internal navigation; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Validate each application/ld+json block, fix syntax errors, complete the fields required for each primary type, keep every claim aligned with visible content, and connect related entities with stable @id references. Do not use nested Question, Answer, Offer, or retired SearchAction markup to inflate coverage.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Fix JSON syntax errors using real JSON serialization where possible instead of hand-concatenated strings.
- Remove invalid properties or unsupported values that cannot be verified from public content.
- Keep all metadata, headings, schema, canonical URLs, and visible copy consistent with the same public facts.
- Use accurate, crawlable, human-visible content as the source for search and answer-engine improvements.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- Every application/ld+json block parses as valid JSON.
- Schema facts remain accurate and aligned with visible page content.
- The public URL exposes the corrected crawl/search/answer signal in rendered HTML or reachable public files.
- The change should be visible to a fresh unauthenticated request and likely improve the related FreeScan SEO / AEO check on rescan.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.
## Output
Return a structured response with these headings: Findings, Changes Made, Verification Results, Rescan Expectation, Rollback Notes, Assumptions.
## Rules
- Ask a clarifying question when required context is missing.
- Preserve the user's intent and avoid inventing facts.
- Verify the issue exists before changing code or content. If the issue is not reproducible, explain what you checked and recommend no code change.
- If the live URL and implementation source disagree, trust the implementation source for edits and use the live URL only to understand current public behavior.

## Check: security_common_headers

## Role
Act as a focused public web security remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve hack-2-hired.onrender.com at https://hack-2-hired.onrender.com.
- Scanner check ID: security_common_headers.
- Fix title: Add common public security headers.
- Scanner check: Common security headers.
- Category: Security.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 5; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 11 of 18 rule points lost.
- Evidence: Detected 2 of 5 common public security controls. Present: strict-transport-security, x-content-type-options. Missing: content-security-policy, frame protection (x-frame-options or content-security-policy frame-ancestors), referrer-policy. Needs strengthening: none.
- What needs attention: Several browser protection headers are missing or present only as weak, narrow policies.
- Why it matters: These headers reduce avoidable browser-side risk and show a baseline of care before launch.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: hosting headers, server middleware, edge/proxy config, CDN rules, and framework security header configuration; server, edge, CDN, hosting, proxy, form action, asset URL, cookie, and public file access configuration; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Add the missing protections and strengthen weak values. Use a long HSTS max-age once HTTPS is stable, and make CSP restrict resources with default-src or script-src in addition to preserving any existing frame-ancestors protection.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Add missing common browser protection headers with values appropriate for the site.
- Treat an existing CSP frame-ancestors directive as valid frame protection; preserve the directive and its allowed origins exactly instead of adding or substituting X-Frame-Options.
- Test CSP or frame policies carefully so they do not break scripts, images, analytics, payments, embeds, or auth.
- Prefer narrow, production-safe security configuration changes over blanket disables or permissive rules.
- Preserve authentication, authorization, private paths, and sensitive file protections while fixing the public launch page.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- Important security headers are visible on the public response.
- Any existing CSP frame-ancestors directive and its allowed origins remain unchanged.
- The page still renders and key flows still work after header changes.
- The public URL keeps legitimate visitors and assets working while removing the reported browser-side or public exposure risk.
- The change does not weaken security headers, authentication, authorization, or private route protections.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.
## Output
Return a structured response with these headings: Findings, Changes Made, Verification Results, Rescan Expectation, Rollback Notes, Assumptions.
## Rules
- Ask a clarifying question when required context is missing.
- Preserve the user's intent and avoid inventing facts.
- Verify the issue exists before changing code or content. If the issue is not reproducible, explain what you checked and recommend no code change.
- If the live URL and implementation source disagree, trust the implementation source for edits and use the live URL only to understand current public behavior.
- Keep the change narrowly scoped to this fix unless another change is required to avoid a regression.
- Match the existing framework, style, design system, routing patterns, and content conventions.
- Preserve existing URLs, forms, analytics, SEO metadata, accessibility semantics, and conversion flows unless the fix explicitly requires changing them.
- Do not perform broad refactors, dependency upgrades, redesigns, rewrites, migrations, file deletions, route changes, or destructive commands unless they are explicitly required and approved.
- Make changes that are easy to review and roll back.
- Prefer editing the canonical source of the page over patching built output, generated files, CDN-cached HTML, or minified assets.
- Do not make a cosmetic or placeholder change just to satisfy the scanner; the public page should be materially better for visitors, crawlers, or assistive technology.
- If an existing Content-Security-Policy contains a frame-ancestors directive, preserve that directive exactly, including its allowed origins, unless the site owner explicitly asks to change it. Do not replace it with X-Frame-Options merely to satisfy this scan.
- Verify the result with the smallest reliable test, build, browser check, or manual inspection available.
## Safety
- Do not request, expose, or reproduce sensitive data.
- Redact private details from examples unless the user explicitly says they are safe to include.
- Do not use credentials, cookies, authenticated data, hidden form values, or private response bodies.
- Do not weaken security headers, authentication, authorization, privacy controls, accessibility, or error handling to make the scan pass.

## Check: accessibility_heading_order

## Role
Act as a focused web accessibility remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve hack-2-hired.onrender.com at https://hack-2-hired.onrender.com.
- Scanner check ID: accessibility_heading_order.
- Fix title: Fix heading order.
- Scanner check: Heading order.
- Category: Accessibility.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: medium.
- Priority: 13; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 11 of 11 rule points lost.
- Evidence: Visible heading levels found: 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2 (rendered page).
- What needs attention: Heading levels appear to jump or start without a clear hierarchy.
- Why it matters: A clean heading outline helps visitors scan the page and helps assistive technology navigate it.
- Status-specific guidance: A public check reported a failure. Reproduce or inspect the issue first, then make the smallest safe fix.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.
- Constraints, examples, or source material: Treat the live URL as the public target to inspect, not as the only source of truth. When repository, CMS, or hosting access is available, use that implementation context before changing anything.
- Target outcome: After the fix is deployed and the public page is rescanned, this specific check should improve or pass without lowering other SEO / AEO, security, accessibility, or design signals.
- Likely places to inspect: heading tags in templates, CMS rich text, markdown/MDX, accordions, cards, and reusable sections; semantic markup, labels, landmarks, headings, focus states, image rendering, form controls, and browser-rendered accessibility output; the route, template, component, CMS entry, theme file, or static page that renders the scanned URL; shared layout, metadata, routing, middleware, server, CDN, or hosting configuration if the issue is not in page content; existing tests, build scripts, preview commands, and deployment notes before choosing verification steps.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Use headings in order: one H1, then H2 for major sections, then H3 for subsections.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Correct heading levels without changing visual hierarchy unnecessarily.
- Use CSS classes for visual size rather than jumping heading levels.
- Fix the semantic or interaction source of the issue rather than hiding warnings with ARIA or visual-only workarounds.
- Keep keyboard, screen reader, and touch users in the verification path.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- Heading levels follow a logical order from one H1 through nested section headings.
- The page remains easy to scan visually and semantically.
- The affected UI remains usable by keyboard and assistive technology and does not introduce heading, label, focus, or contrast regressions.
- The change can be checked in the browser or with an accessibility audit tool when available.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.
## Output
Return a structured response with these headings: Findings, Changes Made, Verification Results, Rescan Expectation, Rollback Notes, Assumptions.
## Rules

- Rule: meta-viewport.
- Selector: meta[name="viewport"].
- Failure: Fix any of the following: user-scalable=no on <meta> tag disables zooming on mobile devices.
## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Fix the top axe rule IDs first, especially critical and serious violations around names, roles, labels, headings, contrast, landmarks, and keyboard-accessible controls.
First reproduce or verify the issue from the public page and available implementation source. Then make the smallest stack-appropriate change that fixes the scanner signal and improves the real user experience.
Use this check-specific implementation guide:
- Fix each reported accessibility violation at the semantic source.
- Avoid suppressing automated checks unless there is a documented false positive.
- Fix the semantic or interaction source of the issue rather than hiding warnings with ARIA or visual-only workarounds.
- Keep keyboard, screen reader, and touch users in the verification path.
- Keep the implementation stack-appropriate: use the existing framework, CMS, hosting provider, design system, and deployment workflow already in the project.
Acceptance criteria for this fix:
- Critical and serious axe issues tied to this page are resolved or clearly documented as non-reproducible.
- Fixes do not introduce new keyboard, label, contrast, or landmark regressions.
- The affected UI remains usable by keyboard and assistive technology and does not introduce heading, label, focus, or contrast regressions.
- The change can be checked in the browser or with an accessibility audit tool when available.
- A fresh FreeScan rescan should show this check improved or passing after deployment.
