Performance66Excellent
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.

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Your certificate uses outdated key strength or a SHA-1 signature.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.
