    How: Identify broken links using a report, update or remove links as necessary.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Simplify Redirect Chains

    How: Review each redirect chain, and directly link to the final destination URL.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Resolve Non-200 Status Codes

    Why: 747 URLs returned non-200 responses, which impacts site accessibility.

    How: Check each URL for errors, correct broken pages or update links.

Security review

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

This security review outlines several missing security headers and vulnerabilities found across your site, which could expose it to various risks including XSS attacks and clickjacking. Immediate actions to implement relevant security controls are suggested to strengthen your site's defenses.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Lack of a Content Security Policy allows unrestricted loading of content, which could lead to XSS attacks.

    Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy header with appropriate directives like "default-src 'self';".

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, your pages can be framed by other sites, making them vulnerable to clickjacking.

    Fix: Add an X-Frame-Options header with the value "DENY" or "SAMEORIGIN".

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Vulnerable jQuery LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: Your site uses outdated jQuery versions with known vulnerabilities that could be exploited if misused.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later to eliminate the vulnerabilities.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  4. 4

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may incorrectly interpret files, leading to attacks based on MIME sniffing.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Not setting a Referrer-Policy exposes your users' full URLs when they click links on your site.

    Fix: Implement a Referrer-Policy header with the value "no-referrer" or another appropriate policy.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo

    Why it matters: Lack of Permissions-Policy may lead to unnecessary permissions being granted to injected scripts.

    Fix: Add a Permissions-Policy header to restrict unused features like geolocation.

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 4253 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.

  • FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium

    2 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.2.0, jQuery 2.9.11. 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/cache/min/1/wp-content/themes/rm/js/jquery.coun…: 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
    • jQuery 2.9.11 in https://rankmath.com/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jquery.min…: 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, 1 not applicable
  • OKHTTPS

    All 4253 crawled pages were served over HTTPS.

  • OKHTTP Strict Transport Security

    strict-transport-security is set on all 4253 HTML pages.

  • OKSoftware version disclosure

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

  • OKForms over HTTPS

    13 forms found, all on HTTPS pages posting to HTTPS addresses.

  • OKKeys and secrets in page code

    No API keys, tokens or private keys were found in the sampled HTML and scripts.

  • OKExposed files and listings

    None of the crawled URLs is a configuration file, backup, dump, repository folder or directory listing.

  • Not applicableCookie flags

    The crawl set no cookies, so there are no cookie flags to check.
