70/ 100Needs workNot a full crawl

On September 28, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 933 pages and 52 assets of bing.com, starting from https://bing.com/. It scored 70 out of 100, a result that needs work. 11 of 16 checks found something to fix, led by indexability (490), image alt text (8,964), title tags (455); 3 checks passed. Most of the points went to indexability (−5.6), title tags (−5.2), image alt text (−5.2). 2 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. The list below shows each check's result, the fix plan, when present, explains what to do first, and the security review at the end of the page covers headers, transport, libraries and exposed files.

Security review

Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawl

The audit of bing.com revealed several security issues that need addressing. Priorities include implementing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to prevent interception, adding X-Frame-Options to protect against clickjacking, and ensuring cookies have proper security flags set. These measures will significantly enhance the security posture of the website.

  • 0 high
  • 3 medium
  • 2 low
  • 1 info
  1. 1

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users may be vulnerable to interception by accessing the site via HTTP.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    No X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: The absence of X-Frame-Options allows clickjacking attacks, where the site can be embedded in malicious frames.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Inadequate Cookie Security FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Cookies lacking security flags are vulnerable to theft and misuse.

    Fix: Set HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite flags on all cookies.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  4. 4

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may erroneously treat files as scripts based on content type.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on secure pages can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.

    Fix: Ensure all resources are loaded over HTTPS.

    Evidence: Mixed content

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo

    Why it matters: Without this header, browser features remain active, increasing potential risks from injected scripts.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self), microphone=(self), camera=(self)

    Evidence: Permissions policy
