The page has 1 request that are missing a cache time. Configure a cache time so the browser doesn't need to download them every time. It will save 354 B the next access.

The easiest way to make your page fast is to avoid doing requests to the server. Setting a cache header on your server response will tell the browser that it doesn't need to download the asset again during the configured cache time! Always try to set a cache time if the content doesn't change for every request.

The page has 1 error response. The page has 1 response with code 404.

Your page should never request assets that return a 400 or 500 error. These requests are never cached. If that happens something is broken. Please fix it.

The page is missing a meta description.

Use a page description to make the page more relevant to search engines.

You are not using charset UTF-8?

The Unicode Standard (UTF-8) covers (almost) all the characters, punctuations, and symbols in the world. Please use that.

There are 2 responses that sets a server header.

Do not send headers that you don't need. We look for p3p, cache-control and max-age, pragma, server and x-frame-options headers. Have a look at Andrew Betts - Headers for Hackers talk as a guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k92ZbrY815c or read https://www.fastly.com/blog/headers-we-dont-want.

No <meta name="referrer"> tag was found on the page. Set a Referrer-Policy response header (preferred) or add a meta tag, for example <meta name="referrer" content="strict-origin-when-cross-origin">.

Without an explicit referrer policy the browser falls back to the user-agent default and may leak the full URL of the previous page (including query strings) to every cross-origin request. Set a Referrer-Policy response header (preferred) or a <meta name="referrer"> tag in the document. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy

Set a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting attacks. You can start with a Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only header, which only reports violations rather than blocking them.

A Content-Security-Policy response header tells the browser which sources of script, style, and other content are allowed. The most effective form is a strict CSP using nonces or hashes together with strict-dynamic; the worst is a missing header, with unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval close behind. https://web.dev/articles/strict-csp

Set a Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header (typically require-corp or credentialless) on the document response to control cross-origin embedding.

Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy (COEP) makes the page refuse to load cross-origin subresources unless they explicitly opt in via CORP or CORS. Together with Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy it puts the page in a cross-origin isolated context, which mitigates cross-window side-channel attacks (Spectre) and unlocks high-resolution timers and SharedArrayBuffer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy

Set a Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header (typically same-origin) on the document response to isolate the page from cross-origin windows.

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy (COOP) lets a page sever its window-group ties to cross-origin documents that opened it or that it opens. Together with Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy it puts the page in a cross-origin isolated context, which mitigates cross-window side-channel attacks (Spectre) and unlocks high-resolution timers and SharedArrayBuffer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy

Set a Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header (same-origin, same-site or cross-origin) on the document response to limit who may embed it.

Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy (CORP) is a per-response opt-in that tells the browser which origins are allowed to embed the resource. It blocks cross-origin or cross-site no-cors embedding (img, script, iframe, etc.) and is one of the building blocks of cross-origin isolation. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy

Set a NEL header (paired with Reporting-Endpoints) to collect connection-level error reports from the field.

The NEL (Network Error Logging) response header tells the browser to record connection-level failures (DNS, TLS, HTTP errors) and ship them to a reporting endpoint. NEL pairs with the Reporting-Endpoints / Report-To header — the page declares the endpoint group and NEL points at it. Together they give you visibility into errors that never reach your origin server. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/NEL

Set a Permissions-Policy header to control which browser features the page can use.

The Permissions-Policy response header (the successor to Feature-Policy) lets a site explicitly opt in or out of powerful browser features such as camera, microphone, geolocation, payment and clipboard. Setting a strict policy reduces the attack surface and limits what embedded third parties can do. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Permissions-Policy

Set a referrer-policy header to make sure you do not leak user information.

Referrer Policy is a new header that allows a site to control how much information the browser includes with navigations away from a document and should be set by all sites. https://scotthelme.co.uk/a-new-security-header-referrer-policy/.

Set a Reporting-Endpoints header (or the legacy Report-To header) so CSP reports, NEL data and other Reporting-API events have an endpoint to land at.

The Reporting-Endpoints response header (the successor to Report-To) names the URLs that browsers should POST reports to. Without it, CSP report-to directives, Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy reports, NEL data and other Reporting-API events have nowhere to go. The legacy Report-To header is still accepted for older Chromium versions. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Reporting-Endpoints

Set a strict transport header to make sure the user always use HTTPS.

The HTTP Strict-Transport-Security response header (often abbreviated as HSTS) lets a web site tell browsers that it should only be accessed using HTTPS, instead of using HTTP. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Strict-Transport-Security.

Set X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on the document response to prevent MIME-sniffing.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff prevents browsers from interpreting files as a different MIME type than what is declared in the Content-Type header. This blocks a class of cross-site scripting and content-type confusion attacks and should be set on every response. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Content-Type-Options
