On October 31, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 462 pages and 556 assets of plausible.io, starting from https://plausible.io/. It scored 75 out of 100, a good result. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (32), broken links (85), title tags (149); 6 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), broken links (−4.7), title tags (−4.1). 14 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

Several issues were identified, including broken links, redirects, and missing title/meta descriptions. Addressing these will improve user experience and search engine rankings.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: 85 internal links point to broken URLs, harming user experience.

    How: Identify and update or remove the broken links listed in the crawl report.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Address Redirects

    Why: 15 URLs redirecting can lead to slower page loads and confuses search engines.

    How: Review the redirects, update or consolidate to ensure direct links where possible.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Improve Title Tags

    Why: 149 pages have title tag issues, affecting SEO performance.

    How: Revise long or missing titles to stay within 60 characters and unique per page.

    Checks: titles

  4. 4

    Enhance Meta Descriptions

    Why: 159 pages have meta description issues, impacting search visibility.

    How: Create concise, engaging descriptions under 160 characters for relevant pages.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  5. 5

    Fix Indexability Warnings

    Why: 4 pages have indexability warnings, which can affect search rankings.

    How: Ensure proper canonical tags and visibility settings for the listed pages.

    Checks: indexability

  6. 6

    Optimize Heavy Assets

    Why: 32 assets are over 500 KB, slowing down your site.

    How: Shrink the large assets, specifically the major scripts and images noted.

    Evidence: 830 KB of script, loaded by 124 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.

    124 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 important security headers that can prevent common vulnerabilities such as man-in-the-middle attacks, clickjacking, and improper content handling. Immediate action is needed to enhance the security posture of your site.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users may be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks when entering the website without HTTPS.

    Fix: Add the header `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains` to all HTML responses.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Lacking this header allows your pages to be embedded in frames, risking clickjacking attacks.

    Fix: Add the header `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or use a CSP frame-ancestors directive.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may mistakenly execute files as scripts based on their content.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Absence of a referrer policy could expose sensitive URLs to third-party sites.

    Fix: Add the header `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade` to all HTML responses.

    Evidence: Referrer policy
