Requesting feed content unnecessarily severe
This app is unnecessarily re-requesting feed content from websites without waiting until there's actually new content published.
Why it's a problemThe unnecessary traffic wastes a website's resources that can be used for its other site visitors.
What it means for usersWebsites are likely to limit this app from accessing feed content, causing feeds to not update properly or stop working entirely.
How to fix it
The application needs to be updated to
wait
until the max-age of
Cache-Control header expires before re-requesting
feed content or properly implement
conditional requests.
Requests are unidentifiable severe
Feed requests appear to be associated with this app but can't be accurately identified.
Why it's a problemA feed reader that can't be identified is often unfortunately used in ways that are severely abusive to a website, either intentionally by malicious users or unintentionally by its users who may be unaware. Since this application is unidentifiable, there's no way to validate its requests and mitigate any potential abuse.
What it means for usersWebsites are likely to block or severely limit this app from their feeds, causing feeds to behave unexpectedly or not work at all.
How to fix itThe application or its usage needs to be verified, which will remove any limitations or restrictions, and feeds used in the application will be much more reliable.
