Refine the tags to improve content categorization and searchability
Consider using a more specific tag than "selenium" to help categorize the content more effectively. For instance, using "selenium-security" or "selenium-grid" could help readers find relevant security-related articles more easily.
Why: The suggestion to use more specific tags like "selenium-security" and "selenium-grid" helps in better categorizing the content and improving searchability for readers interested in security-related articles. This is a minor but useful enhancement.

Add a header image to enhance visual appeal and engagement
To make the article more engaging and visually appealing, consider adding a header image related to the topic of securing Selenium Grids. This could help draw in readers and make the post more memorable.
