Interoperability

OAI-PMH The OAI-PMH protocol is not enabled or doesn't have content indexed.

REST API The REST API is enabled and has content available.

Robots file The Robots.txt file is available.

Sitemaps file The DSpace's Sitemaps feature is enabled.

Custom Handle Prefix The Handle Prefix wasn't customized. DSpace comes with a default Handle Prefix of 123456789. It is a good practice to customize it.

Information Security

DSpace version The Repository's DSpace version is 6.3, which is still under support .

Cryptography In order to meet this criteria, the HTTPS protocol must be enabled, accepting TLS with minimum version of 1.2 and the HTTP protocol must forward to HTTPS.

Security Headers The Headers X-Frame-Options and/or X-Content-Type-Options are not available. Refer to OWASP Secure Headers Project for details on its benefits.

Tomcat exposed Apache Tomcat does not seem to be the Web Server exposed to the Internet.

Standard Ports Standard HTTP/HTTPS ports are used and no port is exposed in the URL.

Performance

Subsecond Response Time The following pages: Homepage, Community List, Search Result, had an average response time higher than 1 second. It is important to keep the response time lower than 1 second .

Compression The Gzip and/or Brotli methods are available in the Web Server.

HTTP/2 Protocol The HTTP/2 Protocol is implemented in the Web Server.

Usability

Mobile Ready Something is preventing the test to be run by the Google's Mobile-Friendly Test tool. Usually this is due to a firewall or Robots.txt configuration.

Single Web Interface Only one User Interface is active. DSpace (up to version 6.X) is shipped with two User Interfaces: XMLUI and JSPUI. It is a good practice to have only one of these active.

Content in Communities and Collections Some Communities and Collections don't have content. According to the REST API, there are 0 empty Communities and 1 empty Collection in the Repository. The total number of Communities is 12 and Collections is 58.
