Fixes that improve your score

Security

HIGHAdd the missing security response headers
Missing: Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security
WhyEach header limits a class of browser-side attack: clickjacking, XSS, MIME sniffing, plaintext fallback. Missing headers leave default-permissive behaviour in place.
WhereMost are one line each in your server config, reverse proxy, CDN, or framework headers.
Learn more
Why this matters & sources
Per-header consequence:
- Strict-Transport-Security: Tells browsers to only ever load your site over HTTPS, even if a user types the URL without https://. Without it, a first-visit on coffee-shop wifi can be silently downgraded to HTTP and intercepted.
- Referrer-Policy: Controls how much of the current URL is sent to third-party sites and analytics. The default leaks the full path, including query strings that may contain tokens or user IDs.
- Permissions-Policy: Turns off browser features your site doesn't use (camera, microphone, geolocation, payment) so an injected script can't trigger them.

Discoverability

MEDIUMAdd a sitemap.xml
WhyHelps search engines discover all your pages, including deep-linked ones not in the navigation. Without one, only pages reachable via crawl-from-homepage get found.
WhereGenerate /sitemap.xml and reference it from robots.txt with a Sitemap: line. Frameworks usually generate it (Next.js app/sitemap.ts, Astro @astrojs/sitemap).
Learn more

Page basics & SEO

MEDIUMAdd a canonical link
No <link rel="canonical"> was detected on your page.
WhyTells search engines which URL is the canonical version when the same content is reachable via multiple paths (with/without trailing slash, query strings, www vs apex).
WhereAdd <link rel="canonical" href="https://your-domain.com/this-page"> to each page's <head>.
Learn more

Optional improvements

These don't change your StackScope score but cover SEO, agent-readiness, security-researcher discoverability, and compliance items worth addressing.

Security

LOWAdd /.well-known/security.txt
WhyLets security researchers report vulnerabilities responsibly through a published contact channel.
WhereCreate /.well-known/security.txt with a Contact: email and Expires: date.
Learn more

Legal & compliance

HIGHAdd a cookie-consent banner
Analytics detected on this site without a consent manager.
WhyUK/EU GDPR requires opt-in before analytics scripts fire; about half of US state privacy laws now require honouring the Global Privacy Control browser signal as a universal opt-out.
WhereDrop in Cookiebot, Usercentrics, Osano, or Iubenda Consent, or hand-roll a banner plus Google's Consent Mode v2.
Learn more
Why this matters & sources
The legal landscape: UK/EU GDPR treats analytics as personal-data processing that requires opt-in consent before scripts fire. About half the US state privacy laws now in force (California, Colorado, Texas, Connecticut, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nebraska) require honouring the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a universal opt-out, and California's January 2026 regulations require visibly indicating when a GPC signal has been honoured.
Sources: IAPP US state privacy tracker (iapp.org/resources/article/us-state-privacy-legislation-tracker), California AG on GPC (oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa/gpc), EDPB consent guidelines (edpb.europa.eu).

Email security

HIGHAdd a DMARC record
No DMARC record at _dmarc.{your-domain}.
WhyDMARC tells receivers what to do when mail fails SPF or DKIM. Without one, they fall back to permissive defaults and your domain is more easily spoofed.
WhereAdd a TXT record at _dmarc.{your-domain}. Start with v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected] (monitoring), then move to p=quarantine and p=reject once you're sure your real mail passes.
Learn more
LOWAdd MTA-STS
No MTA-STS DNS record published.
WhyPrevents mail to your domain being downgraded to plaintext mid-flight by a network attacker. Most launches don't have this, so deploying it puts you a tier above generic email-security checks.
WherePublish a TXT record at _mta-sts.{your-domain} plus a policy file at https://mta-sts.{your-domain}/.well-known/mta-sts.txt.
Learn more
LOWAdd a TLS-RPT record
No TLS-RPT record at _smtp._tls.{domain}.
WhyReceivers can tell you when STARTTLS handshakes to your mail server fail. Without it, silent TLS failures are invisible.
WherePublish one TXT record at _smtp._tls.{your-domain} like v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:[email protected].
Learn more

Page basics & SEO

LOWTrim your meta description to under 160 characters
Currently 224 characters: "Never miss your perfect Upwork job again using AI-powered job alerts via Email, Telegram, or Slack. Get instant notifications for high-quality jobs that match your skills and automatically generate winning proposals with AI."
WhyGoogle truncates around 155-160 characters on desktop SERPs (less on mobile), so anything past that won't appear in the snippet.
WhereEdit your <meta name="description"> tag. Put the most click-worthy phrase first.
Learn more

Agent / AI

LOWDeclare a Content-Signal in robots.txt
WhyStates how you'd like AI systems to use your content (training, search, agent input). Without it, AI crawlers fall back to whatever default policy each vendor applies.
WhereAdd a Content-Signal: line to your robots.txt.
Learn more
LOWAdd Link response headers
WhyLets agents discover your sitemap, privacy policy, and docs without parsing HTML, which most lightweight agents skip.
WhereSet Link: response headers in your server config or framework middleware.

If a tip looks wrong (for example it says "add a consent banner" and you already have one) the detection's the bug, not you. StackScope sees what's public from the outside: HTTP response, rendered HTML, cookies, and DNS. We can miss vendors that load behind consent, are self-hosted, or use an install shape we haven't fingerprinted yet. Email [email protected] and we'll look into it.

Copy into Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT

This prompt includes the detected stack and only the fixes StackScope found. It asks the AI to make concrete file-level changes, not a vague website review.

Score-affecting basics only. Ask your AI to handle these first; come back for the optional hardening once they're done.

Everything: score-affecting fixes plus optional email security, agent metadata, and best-practice items. Longer prompt, more for an "all in one" agent run.

I own https://giguphq.com. StackScope (https://stackscope.dev) analysed it on 10 April 2026 and scored it 7.2/10 against their production-readiness checklist. Please help me apply the fixes below. These are the score-affecting basics. We'll circle back to the optional hardening (email security, advanced agent metadata) later.

Tech stack StackScope detected on the site (use this when suggesting where each fix lives in the codebase):
apple-business-connect, cloudflare, cloudflare-dns, datafast, fetch-analytics, google-site-verification, http3, icloud-mail, lemon-squeezy, posthog, rankinpublic, tailwindcss, twitter-ads, vite, youtube

Score-affecting fixes (these improve the StackScope score; [HIGH] = most impact):
- [HIGH] Add the missing security response headers. Missing: Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security Why: Each header limits a class of browser-side attack: clickjacking, XSS, MIME sniffing, plaintext fallback. Missing headers leave default-permissive behaviour in place. Where: Most are one line each in your server config, reverse proxy, CDN, or framework headers. (https://owasp.org/www-project-secure-headers/)
- [MEDIUM] Add a sitemap.xml. Why: Helps search engines discover all your pages, including deep-linked ones not in the navigation. Without one, only pages reachable via crawl-from-homepage get found. Where: Generate `/sitemap.xml` and reference it from `robots.txt` with a `Sitemap:` line. Frameworks usually generate it (Next.js `app/sitemap.ts`, Astro `@astrojs/sitemap`). (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/overview)
- [MEDIUM] Add a canonical link. No `<link rel="canonical">` was detected on your page. Why: Tells search engines which URL is the canonical version when the same content is reachable via multiple paths (with/without trailing slash, query strings, www vs apex). Where: Add `<link rel="canonical" href="https://your-domain.com/this-page">` to each page's `<head>`. (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/consolidate-duplicate-urls)

For each item, tell me exactly which file to create or which code to change, and where it lives in a project using the stack above. If my framework has a native API for the task (e.g. Next.js metadata exports, `app/sitemap.ts`, Astro layouts, Nuxt `useHead`), prefer that over raw HTML or server config.

Using an autonomous agent?

Point the agent at this SKILL.md URL and ask it to follow the skill. The framing stops agents defaulting to an open-ended page review.

Using a Content-Security-Policy? Both badges are <img> tags from our domain, so your CSP needs to allow them. Add stackscope.dev to your img-src directive (example: img-src 'self' stackscope.dev;). Without it, browsers silently block the badge and visitors see a broken image.
