79/ 100Good

On September 13, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4999 pages and 1002 assets of rankmath.com, starting from https://rankmath.com/. It scored 79 out of 100, a good result. 13 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (44), title tags (2,276), sitemap coverage (3,519); 4 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), title tags (−5.3), sitemap coverage (−4.9). 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.

Security review

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

The website has several security issues that need to be addressed, including the absence of a Content Security Policy, missing clickjacking protection, and outdated JavaScript libraries. Implementing the suggested fixes will enhance the site's security posture.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Without a Content Security Policy, any scripts and styles can load from any source, increasing the risk of XSS attacks.

    Fix: Add the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Absence of Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options or a CSP frame-ancestors directive, pages can be embedded in a frame, risking clickjacking.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Outdated jQuery LibraryMedium

    Why it matters: Using jQuery 2.2.0 exposes the site to multiple known vulnerabilities which may be exploitable depending on usage.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least 3.5.0.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  4. 4

    No MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow

    Why it matters: Lack of X-Content-Type-Options allows browsers to incorrectly interpret files, potentially leading to script execution risks.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 4287 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.

    4032 of 4287 HTML pages send x-frame-options. Without X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors directive) the pages can be embedded in a frame on another site and overlaid with invisible controls.

    1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.2.0. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.

    • jQuery 2.2.0 in https://rankmath.com/wp-content/themes/rm/js/jquery.countdown.js?ver=0.213: 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
  • NoteThird-party scripts

    Scripts run from 2 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.)

    • app.termly.io (40 script tags)
    • www.google.com (3 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.

    • Disallow: /wp-admin/
7 checks passed, 3 not applicable
  • OKHTTPS

    All 4287 crawled pages were served over HTTPS.

  • OKHTTP Strict Transport Security

    strict-transport-security is set on all 4287 HTML pages.

  • OKSoftware version disclosure

    The Server header names a product without a version, and there is no X-Powered-By header.

  • OKMixed content

    No HTTPS page loads a script, stylesheet, font or image over plain HTTP.

  • OKForms over HTTPS
