It scored 91 out of 100, an excellent result. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by headings (1,668), heavy assets (2), title tags (205); 9 checks passed. Most of the points went to headings (−4.9), heavy assets (−1.2), title tags (−1). 11 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 4 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.

Security review

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

The website lacks several important security headers that protect against various attack vectors, including content injection and clickjacking. Implementing these headers is crucial for improving the security posture of your site.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Without a CSP, the site is vulnerable to XSS and data injection attacks.

    Fix: Add a Content-Security-Policy header with a secure policy.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, the site can be embedded in malicious frames.

    Fix: Add an X-Frame-Options header with a value of 'DENY'.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, the browser may incorrectly interpret file types.

    Fix: Add an X-Content-Type-Options header with a value of 'nosniff'.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Not having this policy may leak sensitive page information to third-party sites.

    Fix: Add a Referrer-Policy header with a recommended value of 'no-referrer-when-downgrade'.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  5. 5

    Exposed Server and Framework InformationLow

    Why it matters: Disclosing the framework in headers can provide attackers with necessary information for targeted attacks.

    Fix: Remove or minimize the X-Powered-By header or selectively disclose less information.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Not restricting permissions can expose unnecessary browser features to risks from injected scripts.

    Fix: Add a Permissions-Policy header that denies access to unused features.

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium
