On October 27, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 2137 pages and 996 assets of indietool.io, starting from https://indietool.io/. It scored 96 out of 100, an excellent result. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (2), title tags (209), sitemap coverage (224); 9 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−1.2), title tags (−1), meta descriptions (−0.6). 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.

Fix plan

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

Your site has a high health score with some issues that need fixing. Focus on resolving broken links and updating title tags and meta descriptions for better SEO performance.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: 234 internal links lead to 6 broken URLs affecting user experience and SEO.

    How: Identify the broken links and either update them to redirect to relevant content or remove them entirely.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Shorten Title Tags

    Why: 209 pages have title issues that may affect ranking and click-through rates.

    How: Edit long titles to be concise (under 60 characters) while retaining relevant keywords.

    Checks: titles

  3. 3

    Update Meta Descriptions

    Why: 172 pages have duplicate or missing meta descriptions impacting click-through rates.

    How: Create unique and appealing meta descriptions for affected pages, ideally under 160 characters.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  4. 4

    Resolve Non-200 Responses

    Why: 15 URLs returned non-200 responses which can hurt SEO.

    How: Fix these URLs by ensuring they return a valid 200 status or removing them from links.

    Checks: status-codes

  5. 5

    Improve Sitemap Coverage

    Why: 141 URLs are not represented in the sitemap, affecting discoverability.

    How: Add these URLs to your sitemap and ensure the sitemap returns a 200 status.

    Checks: sitemap-coverage

  6. 6

    Shrink Heavy Assets

    Why: Large assets can slow down page loading times, impacting user experience.

    How: Compress or optimize assets exceeding 500 KB to improve loading performance.

    Evidence: 122 KB of script, loaded by 2125 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.

    2,125 pages affected

    Depends on: If it is a download rather than part of the page, weight matters less; move it out of the page instead.

    Checks: heavy-assets

Security review

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

Your website lacks several important security headers that can protect against cross-site scripting, clickjacking, and information leakage. Implementing these headers will significantly enhance your site's security posture.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: No Content-Security-Policy header restricts where scripts and styles can load from, increasing XSS risk.

    Fix: Add the header: `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: The absence of X-Frame-Options allows potentially malicious sites to embed your pages in frames, risking clickjacking attacks.

    Fix: Add the header: `X-Frame-Options: DENY` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow

    Why it matters: Without X-Content-Type-Options, browsers might execute incorrectly typed files as scripts, leading to potential attacks.

    Fix: Add the header: `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without a Referrer-Policy, sensitive URL information may leak when users navigate away from your site.

    Fix: Add the header: `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  5. 5

    Server Version DisclosureLow

    Why it matters: The presence of the framework name in `X-Powered-By` could assist attackers in targeted exploits.

    Fix: Remove or modify the header: `X-Powered-By: <not revealed>` to obscure framework details.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: A missing Permissions-Policy header means your site may expose sensitive features (like camera access) to injected scripts.

    Fix: Add the header: `Permissions-Policy: not-allowed` to all HTML pages.

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 2125 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.
