71/ 100Needs work

On September 14, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 58 pages and 226 assets of gateslaw.ca, starting from https://gateslaw.ca/. It scored 71 out of 100, a result that needs work. 10 of 26 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (56), title tags (38), heavy assets (33); 7 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−8), title tags (−6.8), heavy assets (−6). 9 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 11 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.

Fix plan

Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findings

Written from an earlier version of the analysis. The findings on this page have been recomputed since, so counts and labels here may differ from what the plan describes. The advice still points at the same checks.

Your site has several SEO issues that need attention, primarily broken links, title and meta description problems, and indexability warnings. Making these changes could improve user experience and search ranking.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: Broken links lead to poor user experience and can hurt SEO.

    How: Update the internal links on 'https://gateslaw.ca/covid-19-kids-and-school-what-if-parents-cant-agree/' and 'https://gateslaw.ca/new-prompt-payment-law-for-the-saskatchewan-construction-industry/' to point to valid URLs.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Update Title Tags

    Why: 38 pages have title issues, affecting visibility in search results.

    How: Ensure all pages have unique and optimized title tags, aiming for 50-60 characters in length.

    Checks: titles

  3. 3

    Add Meta Descriptions

    Why: All pages lack meta descriptions, which helps improve click-through rates.

    How: Write unique, engaging meta descriptions of 150-160 characters for each of the 56 pages.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  4. 4

    Improve Indexability

    Why: 18 pages have indexability warnings, which can prevent proper indexing.

    How: Ensure canonical tags are added to all pages without them, especially for the author and blog pages.

    Checks: indexability

  5. 5

    Address Heavy Assets

    Why: 33 assets are larger than 500 KB, which may slow down your site.

    How: Optimize large images for web use or reduce their size without losing quality.

    Checks: heavy-assets

  6. 6

    Link to Orphan Pages

    Why: 9 orphan pages lack internal links, reducing their visibility.

    How: Create internal links to these pages from relevant existing content to improve their discoverability.

    Checks: orphan-pages

Security review

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

The website gateslaw.ca has several security vulnerabilities that could expose visitors to risks. Key issues include the lack of HTTP Strict Transport Security, Content Security Policy, and Clickjacking protection headers. Additionally, a Google API key is publicly visible in the site code. These findings should be addressed urgently to enhance the site's security.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors may be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks if they access the site without HTTPS.

    Fix: Add the following header to your server configuration: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: Lack of CSP allows potential malicious content to be loaded, increasing the risk of cross-site scripting attacks.

    Fix: Implement a CSP header with this example: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://www.googletagmanager.com;

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing Clickjacking Protection (X-Frame-Options)Medium

    Why it matters: Without this protection, your pages can be embedded in frames on malicious sites, enabling clickjacking.

    Fix: Add this header: X-Frame-Options: DENY or X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Leaked Google API KeyMedium

    Why it matters: The API key is exposed, risking unauthorized usage and potentially incurring costs.

    Fix: Restrict the key in the Google Cloud console to specific HTTP referrer URLs and consider using server-side integration.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  5. 5

    Missing MIME Sniffing Protection (X-Content-Type-Options)Low

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers might incorrectly interpret files, leading to security risks.

    Fix: Add this header to your server: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on HTTPS pages can compromise security.

    Fix: Update all resource links to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.

    Evidence: Mixed content
