Download SQLite databaseEvery page and asset from this scan, with the crawl events, in one file.
On September 13, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4962 pages and 1073 assets of moz.com, starting from https://moz.com/. It scored 71 out of 100, a result that needs work. 13 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (117), meta descriptions (2,237), sitemap coverage (2,666); 4 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), meta descriptions (−5), sitemap coverage (−4.5). 10 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.

Fix plan
Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findingsWritten 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 website has several critical issues including broken links, redirect chains, and multiple title/meta description issues. Prioritize fixing these for improved SEO performance.

Fix Broken Links
Why: 20855 internal links to broken URLs can harm user experience and SEO.
How: Identify broken URLs in your site and either update or remove links pointing to them.
Checks: broken-links
- 2
Address Redirect Chains
Why: Redirect chains can slow down page loading and negatively impact SEO.
How: Reduce or eliminate chain redirects by updating inbound links to point directly to the final URLs.
Checks: redirects
- 3
Resolve Non-200 Responses
Why: 1448 URLs not responding correctly hurt indexing and user experience.
How: Review the URLs that returned errors and correct or remove them.
Checks: status-codes
- 4

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe security review of your website identified critical issues including missing MIME sniffing protection headers, mixed content loading, and vulnerabilities in a JavaScript library. Priority fixes are required to enhance security against common threats.
- 0 high
- 3 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Mixed Content IssuesMedium
Why it matters: 47 resources are loaded over HTTP, which can be blocked or tampered with.
Fix: Update URLs to use HTTPS or host required resources securely.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 2
Vulnerable JavaScript Library DetectedMedium
Why it matters: jQuery version 1.9.1 has multiple vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 3
Leaked Google API KeyMedium
Why it matters: A Google API key is exposed in site code, increasing the risk of misuse.
Fix: Restrict this key by HTTP referrer and configure API settings in Google Cloud.
Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code
- 4
Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow
Why it matters: 3429 out of 3548 HTML pages lack this header, risking MIME sniffing attacks.
Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 5
Third-Party Scripts Without Subresource IntegrityLow
Why it matters: Scripts from external domains can be compromised, risking site integrity.
Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy and explore using Subresource Integrity for scripts.
Evidence: Third-party scripts
- 6
Sensitive Paths Listed in robots.txtInfo
Why it matters: The robots.txt discloses paths that may be sensitive, acting as a potential map for attackers.
Fix: Ensure sensitive paths are protected by proper access controls.
Evidence: Sensitive paths in robots.txt
What the checks found

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 1.9.1. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 1.9.1 in https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js: CVE-2015-9251 (XSS via cross-domain AJAX), CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
- FoundKeys and secrets in page codeMedium
1 credential-like value found in code served to every visitor: Google API key.
- Google API key AIzaSy…gM (39 chars) in https://moz.com/_next/static/chunks/app/layout-cb8694025ce8e31e.js: browser keys are expected in pages, but must be restricted by HTTP referrer and API in the Google Cloud console
- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 6 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.)
- cloud.wordlift.io (39 script tags)
- cdn.ziffstatic.com (39 script tags)
- moz-static.moz.com (156 script tags)
- static.cloudflareinsights.com (39 script tags)
- fast.wistia.com (11 script tags)
- js.hsforms.net (8 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.
