78/ 100Good

On October 5, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4997 pages and 1002 assets of rankmath.com, starting from https://rankmath.com/. It scored 78 out of 100, a good result. 12 of 22 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (42), title tags (2,384), sitemap coverage (3,626); 2 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), title tags (−5.6), sitemap coverage (−5.1). 8 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 1 check was not run because the crawl fetched nothing for it. 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 several SEO issues to address. Priority should be given to fixing broken internal links and optimizing the sitemap. Addressing title and meta description issues will enhance SEO performance. Implementing these changes can significantly improve user experience and search visibility.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: 1595 internal links lead to 55 broken URLs, hurting user experience and SEO.

    How: Identify all broken URLs and set up redirects or remove links to these pages.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Optimize Sitemap

    Why: 3626 pages are missing from your sitemap, affecting indexability.

    How: Ensure all relevant pages are included in your sitemap and resubmit it to search engines.

    Checks: sitemap-coverage

  3. 3

    Address Redirects

    Why: 666 URLs redirect, with 96 being chained, potentially impacting load times and SEO.

    How: Consolidate redirects where possible and ensure direct links to final URLs.

    Checks: redirects

  4. 4

    Fix Title Tag Issues

    Why: 2384 pages have title issues which can confuse search engines and users.

    How: Review and update title tags to ensure they are unique, relevant, and within the proper length.

    How: Create unique and concise meta descriptions for affected pages, keeping within 160 characters.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

Generated automatically; verify each change against your own site before relying on it.

Security review

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

Your website has multiple security vulnerabilities, primarily due to missing security headers and the use of outdated JavaScript libraries. Implementing these fixes will enhance protection against potential attacks.

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

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: The absence of a CSP allows loading resources from any source, increasing XSS attack risks.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-OptionsMedium

    Why it matters: Without this header, your site can be embedded in frames, making it vulnerable to clickjacking.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: Outdated jQuery libraries have known vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or higher.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  4. 4

    Missing X-Content-Type-OptionsLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers might incorrectly handle certain content types, leading to security issues.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without a Referrer Policy, sensitive URL information may be leaked to third-party websites.

    Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer;

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: This absence allows potentially harmful scripts to access browser features.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=();

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 4270 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.

    4170 of 4270 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.

  • 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 4270 crawled pages were served over HTTPS.

  • OKHTTP Strict Transport Security

    strict-transport-security is set on all 4270 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

    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.
