Ensure all images, fonts, and code libraries are properly licensed

Ensuring proper licensing for every image, font, and code library your site uses addresses genuine, real legal exposure that's surprisingly common — using licensed assets beyond their permitted scope, or using assets without any legitimate license at all, represents copyright infringement regardless of whether this occurred through genuine oversight or misunderstanding of the actual license terms.

This risk often accumulates gradually and somewhat invisibly — assets get incorporated into your site over time by various contributors, sometimes without careful verification of their actual licensing status, meaning a comprehensive audit at this stage may reveal accumulated licensing gaps that individually seemed minor at the time of each specific addition but that collectively represent genuine legal exposure.

The genuine complexity here includes understanding that different license types carry meaningfully different actual permissions and restrictions — a font or image licensed for personal use only, or licensed with specific attribution requirements you haven't actually fulfilled, represents genuine licensing violation even if you're not directly reselling or redistributing the asset itself.

A genuinely thorough audit requires systematically reviewing every third-party asset across your site — images, fonts, code libraries, and any other incorporated third-party content — verifying each one's actual license terms and confirming your genuine usage falls within what that specific license actually permits, addressing any gaps found through either securing proper licensing or replacing improperly licensed assets with properly licensed alternatives.
