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.

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 5/100, semantic structured data 83/100. Detected role: home (high confidence).

Add meaningful image alt text
Why this needs attention
One or more images are missing alt text.
People using screen readers may miss product context, trust signals, or calls to action.
Recommended correction
Evidence
Detected 0 image(s) with no alt attribute and 15 image(s) with empty alt text that appear informative, out of 15. 0 empty-alt image(s) looked decorative and were not counted as failures.

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 4 violation rule(s); 3 non-contrast rule(s) are scored here, including 1 serious or critical rule(s). Color contrast is scored once by the dedicated contrast check. 3 result(s) require review. Top rules: color-contrast (6), link-name (1), heading-order (1), empty-heading (1).

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 2 visible H1 heading(s), 23 H1 characters, 0 introductory supporting-copy characters after excluding bylines and short labels, and 10 actionable CTA(s). Rendered evidence was used where available. The H1 text is treated as a subject label, so an appropriate short place, product, or page name does not lose points.

Heading structure
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.

Schema quality and validity
Why this needs attention
The JSON-LD may parse, but its required facts, page-role relevance, visible-content agreement, or graph connections are incomplete.
Invalid structured data can be ignored by search and answer systems, even when visible page content is strong.
Recommended correction
Evidence
2 of 2 JSON-LD block(s) parsed. Semantic quality is 83/100: completeness 88/100, graph connectivity 0/100, primary types Organization, WebSite, currently useful search-feature types Organization, WebSite. Nested types do not count as separate schema coverage. SearchAction is retired as a Google search feature and earns no coverage credit. Failed: earned 7 of 8 points from partial coverage.

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.

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.
