How: Identify the broken URLs and update or remove links as necessary.
Checks: broken-links
- 2
Resolve Redirects
Why: 76 redirects can slow down page loading and complicate crawling.
How: Review and streamline redirects to point directly to the final URLs.
Checks: redirects
- 3
Address Non-200 Responses
Why: 93 URLs returning non-200 responses can hinder site accessibility.
How: Check and rectify URLs, ensuring they return a 2xx status.
Checks: status-codes

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe website has significant security issues that could expose sensitive data to interception. Key problems include missing HTTPS on many pages, no strict transport security, and the use of a vulnerable JavaScript library. Immediate action is recommended to secure user data and improve overall security posture.
- 1 high
- 4 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HTTPS on Multiple PagesHigh
Why it matters: 76 pages served over plain HTTP can be read or modified in transit.
Fix: Implement HTTPS and redirect all HTTP requests. Use a server config like: 'RewriteEngine On; RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off; RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]'.
Evidence: HTTPS
- 2
Lack of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: HSTS protects against interception by enforcing HTTPS connections.
Fix: Add the header 'Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload' to all HTTPS responses.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 3
Absence of Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium
Why it matters: No CSP allows scripts and content to load from any source, increasing risk of XSS attacks.
Fix: Include a CSP header such as 'Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';' to restrict content sources.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 4
Forms Not Using HTTPSMedium
Why it matters: Sending forms over HTTP can expose personal user data.
Fix: Ensure all forms are served over HTTPS and submit via HTTPS URL.
Evidence: Forms over HTTPS
- 5
Vulnerable JavaScript Library in UseMedium
Why it matters: jQuery 3.2.1 has known vulnerabilities that may be exploited.
Fix: Upgrade to jQuery version 3.5.0 or later to mitigate security risks.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 6
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: No referrer policy leaks full URLs including query strings to other sites.
Fix: Implement a referrer policy with the header 'Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade'.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: HTTPS pages are loading resources over HTTP, risking exposure.
Fix: Update resource URLs to use HTTPS preferably or remove insecure requests.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 8
Missing Permissions PolicyInfo
Why it matters: Without a permissions policy, the site may expose unnecessary features to scripts.
Fix: Add a permissions policy header like 'Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self)' to limit features.
Evidence: Permissions policy

- https://cul.colgate.edu/zotero → no strict-transport-security
- https://cul.colgate.edu/scua → no strict-transport-security
- FoundContent Security PolicyMedium
None of the 155 HTML pages send a Content-Security-Policy header or meta tag, so the browser has no restriction on where scripts, styles and frames may load from.
- https://cul.colgate.edu/ → no content-security-policy
- https://cul.colgate.edu/floor-plans → no content-security-policy

- https://cul.colgate.edu/zotero → no content-security-policy
- https://cul.colgate.edu/scua → no content-security-policy
- FoundReferrer policyLow
No HTML page sends referrer-policy. Without a Referrer-Policy the full page address, including any query string, is sent to every site a visitor clicks through to.
- https://cul.colgate.edu/ → no referrer-policy
- https://cul.colgate.edu/floor-plans → no referrer-policy

- https://cul.colgate.edu/scua → no referrer-policy
- FoundPermissions policyInfo
No HTML page sends permissions-policy. A Permissions-Policy header turns off browser features the site does not use (camera, microphone, geolocation), limiting what an injected script could do.
- https://cul.colgate.edu/ → no permissions-policy
- https://cul.colgate.edu/floor-plans → no permissions-policy

- http://cul.colgate.edu/floor-plans has 1 form on a page served over plain HTTP
- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 3.2.1. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 3.2.1 in https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js: CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 3 other domains without Subresource Integrity, so a compromise of any of them changes what runs on this site. (Tag managers and analytics rarely support SRI; a Content-Security-Policy that names these hosts is the usual control.)
- www.googletagmanager.com (40 script tags)
- ajax.googleapis.com (40 script tags)
- v2.libanswers.com (1 script tag)
- NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt
robots.txt lists 5 paths that look private. robots.txt is public and does not restrict access, so it doubles as a map for anyone probing the site; those paths need real access control.
- Disallow: /web.config
- Disallow: /admin/
- Disallow: /user/login
- Disallow: /index.php/admin/
- Disallow: /index.php/user/login
