Fix plan

Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findings

    How: Update or remove 6 internal links directing to 404 pages. Use a link checker to validate updates.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Review Redirects

    Why: Excessive redirects can slow site performance and dilute link equity.

    How: Evaluate and decide if 260 redirecting URLs can be consolidated or removed.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Address Non-200 Responses

    Why: 270 URLs returning non-200 responses can impact site visibility.

    How: Identify the URLs and either fix or remove them from your website.

    Checks: status-codes

  4. 4

    Optimize Title Tags

    Why: 435 pages with title issues can affect search visibility.

    Checks: titles

    Fix Meta Descriptions

    Why: With 818 meta description issues, many pages lack compelling summaries.

    How: Create unique meta descriptions for pages without them, keeping under 160 characters.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  6. 6

    Improve Sitemap Coverage

    Why: Sitemap currently shows broken/redirecting URLs impacting indexing.

    How: Update the sitemap to ensure it only lists valid URLs, then resubmit it to search engines.

    Checks: sitemap-coverage

Security review

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

The website has several security weaknesses, including missing security headers and cookie protections that could expose users' data. Addressing these issues will enhance the site's overall security posture.

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

    Cookie Lacks Protective FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Cookies without Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags are vulnerable to attacks.

    Fix: Set the PHPSESSID cookie with: Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  2. 2

    Leaked Google API KeyMedium

    Why it matters: Exposing an API key can allow unauthorized use of your Google services.

    Fix: Restrict the API key by HTTP referrer in Google Cloud console.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  3. 3

    Missing Referrer-PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without this policy, sensitive information can be leaked through HTTP referrer headers.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  4. 4

    Missing Permissions-PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Without this policy, browser features can be misused by injected scripts.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: (features you want to limit).

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundReferrer policyLow

    No HTML page sends referrer-policy. Without a Referrer-Policy the full page address, including any query string, is sent to every site a visitor clicks through to.

  • FoundPermissions policyInfo

    No HTML page sends permissions-policy. A Permissions-Policy header turns off browser features the site does not use (camera, microphone, geolocation), limiting what an injected script could do.

    • https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/copywriting/ → no permissions-policy
  • FoundCookie flagsMedium

    1 of 2 cookies are missing protective flags. Without HttpOnly a script can read the cookie; without Secure it travels over plain HTTP; without SameSite it is sent on cross-site requests.

    • PHPSESSID (set by https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/login/) lacks Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite
  • FoundKeys and secrets in page codeMedium

    1 credential-like value found in code served to every visitor: Google API key.

    • Google API key AIzaSy…Sc (39 chars) in https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/wp-content/themes/screamingfrog/public/js/sf-bu…: browser keys are expected in pages, but must be restricted by HTTP referrer and API in the Google Cloud console
  • 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.)

    • html5shiv.googlecode.com (40 script tags)
    • www.google.com (40 script tags)
    • eocampaign1.com (12 script tags)
11 checks passed

  • OKClickjacking protection

    x-frame-options is set on all 943 HTML pages.

  • OKMIME sniffing protection

    x-content-type-options is set on all 943 HTML pages.

    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

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

    1 library version recognised, none with known vulnerabilities.
