Information Security
DSpace version The Repository's DSpace version is 5.7, which is outdated or not supported . A version upgrade should be performed as soon as possible.
Cryptography The HTTPS protocol is enabled, the minimum version of TLS accepted is 1.2 and the HTTP protocol is forwarding 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.

Performance
Subsecond Response Time The following pages: Homepage, Community List, Search Result, had an average response time lower than 1 second.
Compression The Gzip or Brotli methods are not available in the Web Server. Some advantages of enabling HTTP Compression are better explained in Mozilla Developer Network Web Docs .
HTTP/2 Protocol The HTTP/2 Protocol is not implemented in the Web Server. HTTP/2 offers many enhancements over HTTP/1.1 such as Multiplexing of requests, Flow control and Prioritization.
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 62 empty Communities and 10 empty Collections in the Repository. The total number of Communities is 97 and Collections is 72.
