Missing, review, unknown, skipped, and not-applicable checks are not passes. Scores describe the captured evidence only.

## Check: seo_aeo_content_quality

## 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 qualysec.com at https://qualysec.com.
- Scanner check ID: seo_aeo_content_quality.
- Fix title: Strengthen answer-engine content quality.
- Scanner check: Answer-engine content quality.
- Category: SEO / AEO.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 6; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 13 of 25 rule points lost.
- Evidence: Role-aware AEO content components: entity clarity 64/100, semantic structured data 25/100. Detected role: editorial_index (high confidence).
- What needs attention: The page is technically discoverable, but its entity clarity, answer-ready copy, structured data, evidence, authorship, or freshness is not yet complete.
- Why it matters: Search and answer systems need clear, extractable, verifiable facts in addition to crawl access and metadata.
- 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: 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: Use the component scores in the evidence. Align the title, H1, description, and schema around one subject; add concise answers to important questions; keep schema facts visible and accurate; and add sources, authorship, or dates only where the page role calls for them.
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:
- 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 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.

- Severity: high.
- Priority: 12; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 7 of 10 rule points lost.
- Evidence: Detected 1 JSON-LD block(s). Primary types: BreadcrumbList. No primary type matches the page role. The named entity was not clearly supported by visible page content.
- What needs attention: The page is missing a primary JSON-LD entity that matches its actual role, or its named entity is not supported by visible content.
- Why it matters: Structured data gives search and answer engines explicit facts about your product.
- 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: JSON-LD generation in document head, route metadata, CMS SEO/schema fields, or server-rendered templates; 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 one or more primary JSON-LD nodes that match this page's real purpose. Give important entities stable site-owned @id values, connect related nodes, and use only facts supported by visible public content.
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 JSON-LD types that fit the visible page, such as Organization, WebSite, SoftwareApplication/Product, FAQPage, or BreadcrumbList.
- Use only accurate public facts and avoid unsupported ratings, prices, reviews, authors, or claims.
- 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 includes at least one application/ld+json block.
- The schema parses as valid JSON and matches facts visible or clearly supported on the public page.
- 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.

## 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 qualysec.com at https://qualysec.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: 4 of 8 rule points lost.
- Evidence: 1 of 1 JSON-LD block(s) parsed. Semantic quality is 25/100: completeness 0/100, graph connectivity 0/100, primary types BreadcrumbList, currently useful search-feature types BreadcrumbList. 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

## 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 qualysec.com at https://qualysec.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: 6 of 18 rule points lost.
- Evidence: Detected 4 of 5 common public security controls. Present: strict-transport-security, x-content-type-options, frame protection (x-frame-options), referrer-policy. Missing: content-security-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.

- Fix title: Add meaningful image alt text.
- Scanner check: Image alt text.
- Category: Accessibility.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 11; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 14 of 14 rule points lost.
- Evidence: Detected 0 image(s) with no alt attribute and 49 image(s) with empty alt text that appear informative, out of 174. 0 empty-alt image(s) looked decorative and were not counted as failures.
- What needs attention: One or more images are missing alt text.
- Why it matters: People using screen readers may miss product context, trust signals, or calls to action.
- 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: image components, CMS image fields, markdown/MDX images, icon-only graphics, logos, badges, and decorative media; 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: Add concise alt text for informative images and use empty alt text only for decorative images.
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 concise alt text for informative images and empty alt text for decorative images.
- Do not duplicate adjacent visible text in alt text unless needed for meaning.
- 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:
- Informative public images have meaningful accessible names.
- Decorative images are ignored by assistive technology.
- 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
- Ask a clarifying question when required context is missing.
- Preserve the user's intent and avoid inventing facts.

- Scanner check ID: accessibility_alt_text_quality.
- Fix title: Review alt text meaning and language.
- Scanner check: Alt text meaning and page language.
- Category: Accessibility.
- Status: review.
- Severity: medium.
- Priority: 14; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 6 of 6 rule points lost.
- Evidence: Detected 75 distinct non-empty alt description(s). Automated checks can verify presence, but a person should confirm that each informative image is described accurately and in the page language (en). Samples: “CREST Member”, “Qualysec”, “Konica Minolta logo”, “Revvity logo”.
- What needs attention: Alt attributes are present, but automated scanning cannot prove that each description matches the image or the page language.
- Why it matters: Accurate, localized descriptions give screen-reader users the same useful context as sighted visitors.
- Status-specific guidance: Automation found evidence that needs manual review. Verify the behavior first; if it is already correct, report that no code change is needed.
- Audience or recipient: The site owner, builder, or marketing team responsible for improving this public page.

- 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: inputs, selects, textareas, custom form controls, search fields, newsletter embeds, and generated form components; 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: Connect each input to a visible label or an accurate aria-label/aria-labelledby value.
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:
- Connect each control to a visible label, aria-label, or aria-labelledby that accurately describes the input.
- Keep labels available to assistive technology and preserve validation/error messaging.
- 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:
- Every public form control has a detectable accessible name.
- Keyboard and screen reader users can understand and complete the form.
- 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
- 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.

## Task
Use the provided context to safely complete this workflow: Review key text, buttons, and links against a 4.5:1 contrast target for normal text.
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:
- Adjust foreground/background colors or font treatment where contrast is too low.
- Preserve brand feel while making text readable in real viewport states.
- 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:
- Important text and controls meet reasonable contrast targets in rendered states.
- No new low-contrast states are introduced.
- 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.

## Check: accessibility_axe_violations

## 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 qualysec.com at https://qualysec.com.
- Scanner check ID: accessibility_axe_violations.
- Fix title: Fix rendered axe accessibility violations.
- Scanner check: Rendered axe accessibility violations.
- Category: Accessibility.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: high.
- Priority: 5; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 14 of 18 rule points lost.
- Evidence: axe found 5 violation rule(s); 4 non-contrast rule(s) are scored here, including 2 serious or critical rule(s). Color contrast is scored once by the dedicated contrast check. 2 result(s) require review. Top rules: select-name (1), aria-hidden-focus (1), color-contrast (19), landmark-unique (1), region (2).
- What needs attention: The rendered page has accessibility rule violations detected by axe-core.
- Why it matters: axe checks the actual browser-rendered page, so these issues can affect people using keyboards, screen readers, or other assistive technology.
- 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: axe violation details, affected selectors, rendered DOM, component source, and interaction state that triggered the issue; 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.

- Rule: region.
- Selector: .fixed > .lg\:flex-row.lg\:justify-between.lg\:items-center > div:nth-child(1).
- Failure: Fix any of the following: Some page content is not contained by landmarks.
## 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.
## 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: design_visual_hierarchy

## Role
Act as a focused conversion-focused frontend quality remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve qualysec.com at https://qualysec.com.
- Scanner check ID: design_visual_hierarchy.
- Fix title: Strengthen visual hierarchy.
- Scanner check: Visual hierarchy.
- Category: Design.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: medium.
- Priority: 12; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 3 of 9 rule points lost.
- Evidence: The rendered H1 is 50px/600 weight versus a 15px/500 median body style (3.33× size). Captured 18 supporting heading(s) and 26 action(s). The main heading has a clear rendered emphasis over body copy. 46 of 278 rendered text samples missed contrast targets, so hierarchy is not considered fully legible.
- What needs attention: Rendered typography, geometry, and contrast show that the main heading is not distinct or legible enough, or that the hierarchy needs manual review.
- Why it matters: Hierarchy tells visitors what to read first and what action to take next.
- 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: the highlighted rendered element, measured heading-to-body typography ratio, heading scale, section order, CTA prominence, supporting copy, badges, cards, and visual emphasis; page layout, responsive CSS, component states, copy hierarchy, CTA placement, spacing tokens, rendered console output, and performance-sensitive assets; 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 the highlighted rendered element, measured font ratio, and contrast evidence to strengthen the main heading, improve legibility, or reduce competing emphasis. Preserve correct semantic headings and do not add decorative emphasis solely to satisfy the scan.
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:
- Use computed size and weight evidence to make the main message visually distinct when the rendered failure is confirmed.
- Reduce competing emphasis rather than adding decorative clutter.
- Do not add strong or emphasis tags solely to satisfy a visual hierarchy check.
- Improve the actual rendered page at mobile and desktop sizes, not only the source code shape.
- Preserve core conversion flows while making layout, hierarchy, readability, or runtime health better.
- 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:
- A visitor can quickly understand what matters most on the page.
- Hierarchy improvements preserve accessibility and responsive behavior.
- The rendered page is visually stable and usable on mobile and desktop viewports.
- The fix does not hide content, break CTAs, introduce console errors, or reduce clarity for visitors.
- 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.

Act as a focused conversion-focused frontend quality remediation expert who can inspect the public page and safely improve the underlying implementation.
## Inputs
- Primary context: Improve qualysec.com at https://qualysec.com.
- Scanner check ID: design_rendered_performance.
- Fix title: Improve rendered speed signals.
- Scanner check: Rendered speed signals.
- Category: Design.
- Status: fail.
- Severity: medium.
- Priority: 14; lower numbers are more urgent.
- Score impact: 4 of 10 rule points lost.
- Evidence: DOMContentLoaded: 308ms. Load complete: 1208ms. First contentful paint: 536ms. Largest contentful paint: 1216ms. Total blocking time: 245ms. Cumulative layout shift: 0.005. Resources: 92. Scripts: 14. Images: 42. Third-party origins: 9. Transfer: 2146KB. Potential render-blocking resources: 3. Metrics outside the good range: Total blocking time 245ms (good at or below 200ms); Third-party origins 9 origins (good at or below 8 origins).
- What needs attention: The browser-rendered page shows slow or heavy speed signals.
- Why it matters: Slow pages lose impatient visitors and make every SEO, social, and paid-traffic visit work harder.
- 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: rendered performance metrics, image/video weight, third-party scripts, fonts, blocking resources, and hydration behavior; page layout, responsive CSS, component states, copy hierarchy, CTA placement, spacing tokens, rendered console output, and performance-sensitive assets; 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: Reduce render-blocking scripts/styles, compress and size images, defer non-critical JavaScript, reduce third-party tags, and keep above-the-fold content quick to paint.
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:
- Reduce obvious performance bottlenecks with targeted asset, script, font, or loading changes.
- Avoid removing required analytics, auth, payment, or product functionality without approval.
- Improve the actual rendered page at mobile and desktop sizes, not only the source code shape.
- Preserve core conversion flows while making layout, hierarchy, readability, or runtime health better.
- 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:
- Rendered performance metrics improve or the bottleneck is clearly documented.
- The page still renders complete content and key interactions.
- The rendered page is visually stable and usable on mobile and desktop viewports.
- The fix does not hide content, break CTAs, introduce console errors, or reduce clarity for visitors.
- 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.
