14 issue(s) need attention (1 high, 2 medium, 11 low), while 13 checks passed.

highSPF authorizes huge IP ranges (ip4:40.92.0.0/15, ip4:52.100.0.0/15)

Very large ranges (ip4:40.92.0.0/15, ip4:52.100.0.0/15) let anyone inside them - for example any customer of the same cloud provider - send mail as you.

mediumCertificate chain is incomplete

Desktop browsers often fill the gap, but mobile apps, APIs and some browsers fail outright - so it works in your tests and breaks for real users.

mediumHSTS not enabled

Without it, an attacker can strip SSL on the first HTTP request and keep the user on plaintext (SSL stripping), a common attack on public Wi-Fi.

lowNo OCSP stapling

The server does not staple the certificate revocation status. Every revocation check becomes an extra round trip to the CA, which slows the first visit and, if the CA endpoint is unreachable or the visitor's network blocks it, leaves the browser without a usable revocation status.

lowNo Content Security Policy

Without it, any injected script runs: session theft, fake payment forms, or card-skimming scripts on compromised pages. CSP limits the damage even when something else fails.

lowX-Content-Type-Options missing

Without it a file uploaded as an image can be executed as HTML/JavaScript on your domain, stealing same-site cookies and sessions.

lowCookies without Secure/HttpOnly (___Host-)

Missing Secure lets cookies travel in plaintext; missing HttpOnly lets injected scripts steal sessions; missing SameSite enables CSRF. Affected: ___Host-.

lowDNSSEC not enabled

Without it, attackers can poison caches or forge answers and send visitors to a lookalike server that harvests credentials.

lowContent Security Policy is weak (no script-src/default-src; object-src not restricted)

The policy is too permissive (no script-src/default-src; object-src not restricted), so injected scripts still run while giving a false sense of security.

lowHSTS preload not enabled

Even with HSTS on, the very first visit is still exposed to SSL-stripping: the header only takes effect after one successful HTTPS visit. Browsers ship a preload list (Chromium's list is used by Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox) so the first connection goes straight to HTTPS.

lowNo clickjacking protection

Without it, attackers overlay a transparent frame of your page and trick users into clicking real actions such as transfers or password changes (clickjacking).
