63/ 100Needs work

On September 13, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 296 pages and 676 assets of downtownsaskatoon.ca, starting from https://downtownsaskatoon.ca/. It scored 63 out of 100, a result that needs work. 9 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (157), sitemap coverage (241), heavy assets (62); 9 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−7.3), heavy assets (−6), sitemap coverage (−6). 9 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 10 checks were not run because the crawl fetched nothing for them. 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.

    Checks: status-codes

  3. 3

    Optimize Title Tags

    Why: Title issues can lower click-through rates from search results.

    How: Adjust titles to be within 50-60 characters, ensuring they accurately reflect page content.

    Checks: titles

  4. 4

    Enhance Meta Descriptions

    Why: Improving meta descriptions helps attract clicks from search results.

    How: Create unique meta descriptions for pages with issues, ensuring they are between 140-160 characters.

Security review

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

The review uncovered several security vulnerabilities on downtownsaskatoon.ca, including the absence of critical security headers that could expose the site to attacks such as clickjacking and data interception. Immediate actions to implement security headers and update vulnerable libraries are recommended to enhance protection.

  • 0 high
  • 4 medium
  • 1 low
  • 0 info
  1. 1

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users typing the site URL without https:// risk interception of their first request.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: The absence of CSP allows uncontrolled loading of scripts and resources, increasing XSS attack risk.

    Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy header with an appropriate policy, e.g., Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Without this header, the website may be vulnerable to clickjacking attacks.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Use of Vulnerable jQuery LibraryMedium

    Why it matters: jQuery version 3.1.0 has known vulnerabilities that may be exploited depending on its use.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later to fix vulnerabilities.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: This can lead to potential MIME sniffing attacks, allowing scripts to execute improperly.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  • NoteThird-party scripts

    Scripts run from 4 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.)

    • cdn.jsdelivr.net (40 script tags)
    • unpkg.com (1 script tag)
    • cdnjs.cloudflare.com (39 script tags)
    • www.google.com (7 script tags)
  • NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt

    robots.txt lists 1 path 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: /wp-admin/
6 checks passed, 3 not applicable
  • OKHTTPS

    All 171 crawled pages were served over HTTPS.

  • OKSoftware version disclosure

    The Server header names a product without a version, and there is no X-Powered-By header.

  • OKMixed content

    No HTTPS page loads a script, stylesheet, font or image over plain HTTP.

  • OKForms over HTTPS

    87 forms found, all on HTTPS pages posting to HTTPS addresses.

  • OKKeys and secrets in page code

    No API keys, tokens or private keys were found in the sampled HTML and scripts.

    None of the crawled URLs is a configuration file, backup, dump, repository folder or directory listing.
