On October 21, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4998 pages and 1001 assets of rankmath.com, starting from https://rankmath.com/. It scored 78 out of 100, a good result. 11 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (35), title tags (2,429), sitemap coverage (3,540); 7 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), title tags (−5.7), sitemap coverage (−5). 15 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.

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlYour website lacks several important security headers and is using outdated libraries, which could expose it to vulnerabilities. Implementing these recommendations will enhance security and prevent potential attacks.
- 0 high
- 3 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: Without a Content Security Policy, browsers can load resources from any source, increasing risk of XSS attacks.
Fix: Add the header 'Content-Security-Policy' with appropriate directives based on your needs.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: The absence of this header allows your pages to be embedded in frames, exposing them to clickjacking attacks.
Fix: Set the header 'X-Frame-Options' to 'DENY' or 'SAMEORIGIN'.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Outdated jQuery LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using vulnerable jQuery versions can allow attackers to exploit known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least version 3.5.0.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 4
Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow
Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may incorrectly interpret files, posing a risk of executing unintended scripts.
Fix: Add the header 'X-Content-Type-Options' with the value 'nosniff'.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 5
Missing Referrer Policy HeaderLow
Why it matters: Not sending a referrer policy could expose sensitive URL parameters to third-party sites.
Fix: Add 'Referrer-Policy' header with a value of 'no-referrer-when-downgrade' or as per your requirements.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 6
Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo
Why it matters: Without this header, unnecessary browser features are available, which may be exploited by malicious scripts.
Fix: Add 'Permissions-Policy' header with directives that disable unused features.
Evidence: Permissions policy
What the checks found
- FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
2 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.2.0, jQuery 3.1.3. 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 3.1.3 in https://rankmath.com/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jquery.min…: 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 3 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.)
- cdn-4.convertexperiments.com (40 script tags)
- 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/
