Performance46Needs work
Your server still serves over the older HTTP/2 protocol — not the newer, faster HTTP/3.
Image optimization (WebP/AVIF)
Your images are served as JPEG or PNG when modern formats (WebP, AVIF) would cut their size by 30–60% with no visible loss.
Lazy loading on below-fold images
Images below the fold aren't lazy-loaded — visitors download them up front even if they never scroll that far.
Font loading strategy (FOUT/FOIT/swap)
Your fonts aren't using font-display: swap. Visitors see invisible text for a moment while the font downloads — Google penalises this.
Mobile PageSpeed score + Core Web Vitals (LCP, FCP, CLS)
Your homepage is slow on mobile. The data Google uses to rank pages says real visitors wait too long for it to feel ready.
Your server compresses pages with Brotli or gzip — visitors download a fraction of the raw size.

Email health72Excellent
You have DMARC set up, but in monitor-only mode — it's not actually rejecting spoofed mail.
DMARC aggregate reporting enabled (rua=)
No DMARC aggregate-reporting address is published — you wouldn't see spoofing attempts.
Lead magnet / signup incentive detected (free download, ebook, etc.)
We didn't find a lead magnet on your homepage — no free download, sample, or signup incentive. Visitors who aren't ready to buy have nothing to take with them.

Security75Excellent
WordPress REST API user enumeration exposure
Your WordPress site exposes its user list through the REST API. Attackers can enumerate every account by username — the first half of any credential-stuffing attack is already done for them.
Your server doesn't staple OCSP. Visitors' browsers may have to contact the CA themselves, slowing first connects.
Neither OCSP stapling nor Must-Staple is in play. A revoked cert wouldn't be caught quickly.
Certificate key strength and signature algorithm
Your certificate uses outdated key strength or a SHA-1 signature. Reissue with a modern ACME-class cert.
Embedded SCT count (Certificate Transparency)
Your certificate carries only one embedded SCT — modern browsers want at least two. Reissue from a CA that includes them.
SSL certificate validity & expiration window
Your SSL certificate is valid and not close to expiring.
Sensitive path exposure (.git, .env, /admin, xmlrpc.php, wp-login.php)
None of the common admin or developer paths are publicly reachable.
Only modern TLS (1.2 and above) is offered — TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are turned off.
Certificate chain completeness
Your server sends the full certificate chain — every device builds the path to a trusted root cleanly.
Certificate validity-period brevity
Your certificate uses a short validity window (≤ 90 days) — auto-renewal keeps revocation fast and frictionless.
Your certificate is issued by a tier-1 publicly trusted CA (Let's Encrypt, DigiCert, Google Trust, Sectigo, etc.).
Your TLS handshake completes quickly — under 300ms on a cold connection.
