Using setInterval to remove the blur effect every 100ms may be unnecessarily resource-intensive; consider using a debounced approach to clear the blur after scrolling has stopped.

Inconsistency between news files.
According to the AI summary, news-1.php contains a fully developed article, while news-2.php, news-3.php, and news-4.php are empty placeholders. This inconsistency could confuse users who click on news cards expecting content.

What is the best practice for placeholder pages in a website?💡 Result:
Best Practices for Website Placeholder Pages
Placeholder pages—whether for empty states, under-construction sections, or awaiting content—play an important role in the user experience. The following best practices are recommended for designing effective and user-friendly placeholder pages:
Make Placeholders Helpful and Inviting
- Use engaging, friendly imagery or illustrations to fill what would otherwise be an empty, intimidating space. This helps reassure users and makes the interface feel more welcoming[4].
- Provide concise, relevant messaging. Clearly communicate the page’s purpose, status (e.g., “Coming Soon”), or what the user can expect in the future[4].
- Offer helpful next steps. Instead of leaving users at a dead end, guide them to actions they can take (like exploring other features, returning home, or completing setup)[4].
Avoid User Confusion
- Do not use generic or vague placeholders. Tailor the content so that users always know where they are and why the page is empty or incomplete[7][8].
- Never use placeholders as a substitute for permanent content or navigation. Make it clear the page is intentionally incomplete, not broken[4].
Accessibility and Usability
- Ensure adequate color contrast for placeholder text or graphics, aiming for at least a 4.5:1 contrast ratio to meet WCAG accessibility standards[3][6].
- Avoid using only placeholder text inside form fields without labels. Labels should remain visible, as placeholders disappear once the user starts typing, potentially causing confusion or accessibility issues, particularly for users of screen readers or those with cognitive disabilities[2][3][6].
- If using example or instructional text, make it concise and directly relevant to the end-user’s context[6][8].
Content and Onboarding
- Consider using example or starter content instead of leaving areas completely blank. For instance, email services will auto-populate a new inbox with welcome emails to guide users[4].
- Offer onboarding tutorials or tooltips on placeholder pages to familiarize users with what will appear or how to interact with the section when it’s live[4].
Additional Tips
- Disable or hide buttons that are not actionable, so users aren’t frustrated by features that are not yet available[4].
- Whenever possible, engage users with alternative recommendations if the primary content is not yet available (“Try this other feature while you wait”)[4].
Summary Table: Do's and Don'ts for Placeholder Pages
Do Don't Use inviting visuals and tailored messages Leave the page blank or with generic “Coming Soon” Provide actionable next steps or alternatives Allow users to get stuck at a dead-end Maintain high contrast and accessibility Use low-contrast or inaccessible placeholders Keep placeholders concise and relevant Use placeholders as permanent navigation or labels Guide users with examples and onboarding Present unactionable features or buttons By following these practices, placeholder pages can enhance the user journey, set appropriate expectations, and keep users engaged as your website evolves[4][6][8].

Add meaningful placeholder content for empty news pages
The files

• Include concise text such as “This article is coming soon” or “Stay tuned for updates”
• Offer navigation options (e.g. link back to the news overview or homepage)
• Ensure accessibility (proper heading structure, sufficient color contrast)Example snippet for each placeholder page:
<?php $pageTitle = 'News – Coming Soon'; include '../partials/header.php'; ?> <main aria-labelledby="coming-soon-heading"> <h1 id="coming-soon-heading">Coming Soon</h1> <p>We’re working on this story—check back soon or explore our <a href="/news">news overview</a>.</p> <img src="/assets/images/placeholder-news.svg" alt="Under construction illustration"> </main> <?php include '../partials/footer.php'; ?>public/html/news/news-4.php (1)
1-2: 🛠️ Refactor suggestionComplete the news-4.php file with proper structure
This file is currently just a placeholder with only a PHP opening tag. For consistency and to avoid errors if accessed directly, it should include proper HTML structure and either placeholder content or actual news content.

8-9:⚠️ Potential issueAdd missing title tag
According to the AI summary, the page title tag has been removed. A title tag is essential for SEO, browser tabs, and accessibility (screen readers). Each page should have a unique and descriptive title.

Using!importanthere can conflict with user preferences and other styles. Instead, rely on selector specificity or feature-detect smooth scrolling.
183-187: Consider responsive padding for the News section
Hardcodedpadding: 20px 10px;works, but you may want to switch to relative units (e.g.,rem) or adjust at breakpoints for mobile layouts.
251-265: Simplify hover transform logic on.main:hover
The cascading transforms for each card could be driven by CSS variables ornth-childselectors, reducing repetition.
284-287: Beware performance of CSSfilter: blur()on hover
Applyingfilter: blur(3px)to non-hovered cards can be GPU-intensive on lower-powered devices. Consider a simpler opacity fade or pointer-event block instead.
289-294: Reconsider use ofheight: 30vmax
Viewport-based sizing (vmax) may yield unpredictable layouts on very tall or wide screens. A percentage-based height or min/max constraints could be more consistent.
296-307: Optimize heavy backdrop-filter on.card img
backdrop-filter: blur(4px)is visually rich but costly. Provide a fallback or limit this effect to supported browsers.
309-321: Merge#c4 imgwith.card img
These two selectors duplicate nearly identical rules. Combine them under the shared rule and use a modifier class for the one different box-shadow.
326-329: Ensure consistent vertical rhythm in.news-article
padding: 50px 10px 30px 10px;may feel uneven. Consider symmetric top/bottom padding or use variables to maintain spacing scale.
331-339: Normalize button padding in news links
padding: 7px 66px;is very wide. For consistency with other buttons, switch topadding: .5rem 1rem;or CSS variables.
361-369: Tone down excessive text-shadow on article paragraphs
text-shadow: 0 0 30px 20px rgba(0,0,0,1);can reduce readability. Consider a subtler shadow or none.
371-379: Same for.news-article h1text-shadow
The strong glow makes text hard to read; reduce blur & opacity or remove.
392-395: Nit: Indent and whitespace in.news-card-text
Adjust indentation onpadding: 30px 30px;for consistency with surrounding rules.
530-541: DRY up.signup&.forOforsections
These containers duplicate nearly the same background and flex centering. Extract a common utility class (e.g.,.full-screen-center) to avoid two definitions.
551-554: Clarify purpose of.clock
Setting a 10×10px block without context may be placeholder. Add a comment or adjust size/units for production.
600-614: Standardize keyframes naming & cleanup
Use kebab-case (e.g.,@keyframes float) and remove redundantopacitydeclarations in frames where it doesn't change.
616-644: Simplifyheartbeatkeyframes
You can collapse repeated segments (e.g., 30%–40% and 60%–100% share the same transform). Fewer breakpoints improve readability.
646-658: Validate need forwindkeyframes
This slight rotation may go unnoticed. If it’s essential for the 404 page, fine; otherwise consider removing or simplifying for performance.

Inefficient blur reset method.
Using setInterval to continuously reset the blur effect every 100ms wastes resources, especially when the user isn't scrolling.
Replace the interval with a debounced function that only runs after scrolling stops:
-// Remove blur after a brief delay
-setInterval(() => {
- document.body.style.filter = 'blur(0)';
-}, 100);
+// Remove blur after scrolling stops
+let scrollTimeout;
+window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {

Anchor link handling prevents normal link navigation.
The code prevents all anchor tags from their default behavior, including external links or links to other pages, by calling preventDefault() on all link clicks. It also doesn't check if the href attribute exists before accessing it.
Modify the code to only intercept internal anchor links (those starting with #):
// Handle anchor link clicks for smooth scroll
document.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
- if (e.target.tagName === 'A') {
+ const target = e.target.closest('a');
+ if (target && target.getAttribute('href') && target.getAttribute('href').startsWith('#')) {
e.preventDefault();
- let target = document.getElementById(e.target.getAttribute('href').slice(1));
- if (target) {
- window.scrollTo({ top: target.offsetTop, behavior: 'smooth' });
+ const targetElement = document.getElementById(target.getAttribute('href').slice(1));
+ if (targetElement) {
+ window.scrollTo({ top: targetElement.offsetTop, behavior: 'smooth' });
applyBlurEffect();

Remove user-scalable=no for accessibility compliance
Disabling user zooming with user-scalable=no creates significant accessibility issues. Users with visual impairments often rely on zooming to read content, and this change prevents that functionality. This also violates WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.4 (Resize text).

WCAG accessibility requirements for user zoom and scaling
💡 Result:
WCAG Accessibility Requirements for User Zoom and Scaling
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) includes several important requirements regarding user zoom and scaling to ensure digital content is accessible to everyone, including people with visual impairments. Here's a comprehensive overview:
Core Requirements
1.4.4 Resize Text (AA)
- Text must be resizable up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
- Should work without requiring assistive technology
- Content should reflow appropriately when zoomed
- No horizontal scrolling should be required at standard screen widths
1.4.10 Reflow (AA)
- Content must reflow when zoomed to 400% at 1280px width
- All content and functionality must remain available
- Only one dimension of scrolling should be required (typically vertical)
- Exception: content that requires two-dimensional layout (like maps, diagrams)
1.4.12 Text Spacing (AA)
- Content must accommodate these spacing adjustments without loss:
- Line height at least 1.5 times font size
- Spacing after paragraphs at least 2 times font size
- Letter spacing at least 0.12 times font size
- Word spacing at least 0.16 times font size
Technical Implementation Guidelines
To properly comply with these requirements:
- Never disable browser zoom capabilities with viewport meta tags that include
user-scalable=noormaximum-scale=1.0 - Use relative units (%, em, rem) rather than fixed units (px) for text
- Implement responsive design techniques
- Test your website at various zoom levels (200% and 400%)
- Ensure breakpoints accommodate zoomed content properly
- Use CSS that allows for fluid layouts (Flexbox, Grid)
Common Implementation Mistakes
- Using fixed container widths that create horizontal scrolling
- Implementing overlapping content when zoomed
- Creating modals or menus that become inaccessible at higher zoom levels
- Using absolute positioning that breaks when text is enlarged
- Hiding content off-screen when zoomed
These WCAG requirements help ensure that users who need larger text or different spacing can access digital content effectively, which is essential for those with low vision, cognitive disabilities, or other visual processing needs.
Remove user-scalable=no to restore zoom functionality for accessibility compliance
Disallowing zoom via user-scalable=no prevents users from resizing text up to 200% (WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.4) and reflowing content correctly (SC 1.4.10), creating barriers for those with low vision.
Please update the viewport meta tag as follows:
• File: public/includes/header.php
Line: 4
- <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">

🧩 Analysis chain
Add proper input validation for security
The code no longer uses basename() to sanitize the page parameter. This could introduce a path traversal vulnerability if not properly validated. Always sanitize user inputs to prevent security issues.
-$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'home';
+$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? basename($_GET['page']) : 'home';🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash
# Check if there's any validation of the $_GET['page'] parameter elsewhere in the codebase
# Search for sanitization or validation of the page parameter
echo "Searching for page parameter validation in PHP files..."
rg -t php "\\\$_GET\['page'\]" --after-context=3 --before-context=3Length of output: 531
Enforce input sanitization on $_GET['page'] to prevent path traversal
The page parameter is used directly to build a filename and isn’t sanitized anywhere else in the codebase. An attacker could supply directory traversal sequences and potentially include unintended files. At minimum, strip any directory components before appending the “.php” extension, or—better yet—compare against a whitelist of allowed page names.

Consider adding feedback and security mechanisms
The form lacks visual feedback for successful submission and CSRF protection.
Consider adding:
- A success message or redirect after form submission
- CSRF token for better security
- A privacy policy reference since you're collecting email addresses
Example implementation:
<form action="index.php?page=newsletter" method="POST" class="signup-form">
+ <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo generateCSRFToken(); ?>">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required aria-required="true">
</div>
<button type="submit">Sign Up</button>

Reevaluate absolute positioning on .card
Positioning .card absolutely without a containing context may lead to overlap and responsiveness issues. Consider a flex or grid layout on the parent instead of position: absolute;.

Increase small font-size for accessibility
font-size: 10px; is below WCAG recommendations. Use at least 0.75rem (~12px) for readability.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Remove !important from hover overrides
Relying on !important to reset transforms makes future tweaks brittle. Instead increase selector specificity or restructure hover rules to avoid !important.

Fix selector .forOfor h2 p
This selects <p> inside an <h2>, which is invalid HTML. Likely you meant .forOfor h2, .forOfor p.
