Add common public security headers
Why this needs attention
Several browser protection headers are missing or present only as weak, narrow policies.
These headers reduce avoidable browser-side risk and show a baseline of care before launch.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Detected 4 of 5 common public security controls. Present: strict-transport-security, content-security-policy, x-content-type-options, frame protection (content-security-policy frame-ancestors and x-frame-options). Missing: referrer-policy. Needs strengthening: strict-transport-security max-age is 7889238; use at least 15552000 seconds once HTTPS is stable across the intended host scope; content-security-policy only supplies a narrow control; add a default-src or script-src resource policy.

Shorten the meta description
Why this needs attention
The meta description is 173 characters, so it is longer than the recommended maximum.
Long descriptions are likely to be truncated or rewritten, which can hide the most useful part of the message.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Meta description is 173 characters, above the 170-character maximum.

Fix Prompt
Strengthen answer-engine content quality
Why this needs attention
The page is technically discoverable, but its entity clarity, answer-ready copy, structured data, evidence, authorship, or freshness is not yet complete.
Search and answer systems need clear, extractable, verifiable facts in addition to crawl access and metadata.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Role-aware AEO content components: entity clarity 100/100, answer-ready text 40/100, semantic structured data 65/100. Detected role: home (high confidence).

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 1 violation rule(s); 1 non-contrast rule(s) are scored here, including 1 serious or critical rule(s). Color contrast is scored once by the dedicated contrast check. 1 result(s) require review. Top rules: target-size (1).
Priority
Priority 5: fix before sharing the page publicly.
Affected elements
All touch targets must be 24px large, or leave sufficient space
Fix any of the following: Target has insufficient size (16px by 50px, should be at least 24px by 24px) Target has insufficient space to its closest neighbors. Safe clickable space has a diameter of 16px instead of at least 24px.
Fix Prompt
Review introductory clarity signals
Why this needs attention
One or more heading, introductory-copy, or next-action signals fell outside this heuristic's expected range; this does not by itself prove the page is vague.
The introduction should help visitors understand the purpose of this particular page.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Detected 1 H1 heading(s), 34 H1 characters, 0 introductory supporting-copy characters after excluding bylines and short labels, and 1 actionable CTA(s). The H1 text is treated as a subject label, so an appropriate short place, product, or page name does not lose points. Detected role: home (high confidence).

Basic contrast
Why this needs attention
The scanner found text/background color pairs that may be hard to read, or could not verify contrast.
Low contrast makes a launch page feel less polished and can exclude users with low vision.

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.
