71/ 100Needs work

On October 22, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 1214 pages and 1159 assets of screamingfrog.co.uk, starting from https://screamingfrog.co.uk/. It scored 71 out of 100, a result that needs work. 10 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (837), heavy assets (16), image alt text (214,239); 11 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−7.1), heavy assets (−6), image alt text (−5.5). 12 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.

Fix plan

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

Your site has several SEO issues that need addressing, including broken links and missing metadata. Prioritizing fixes will enhance your SEO performance significantly.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: Broken links lead to poor user experience and can negatively impact SEO.

    How: Identify and update the six broken internal links to point to the correct URLs.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Optimize Title Tags and Meta Descriptions

    Why: Many pages have title and meta description issues, affecting visibility in search results.

    How: Rewrite titles for 435 affected pages and create meta descriptions for 784 pages without them.

    Checks: titles, meta-descriptions

  3. 3

    Improve Sitemap Coverage

    Why: Sitemap issues may lead to search engines missing important pages.

    How: Ensure all 512 URLs are included in the sitemap and fix any redirects (currently 242 URLs) that affect sitemap integrity.

    Checks: sitemap-coverage

  4. 4

    Reduce Heavy Assets

    Why: Large assets slow down page loads, negatively impacting user experience and rankings.

    How: Shrink heavy assets over 500 KB and consider hosting large files differently.

    Evidence: 772 KB of stylesheet, loaded by 944 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.

    944 pages affected

    Depends on: If it is a download rather than part of the page, weight matters less; move it out of the page instead.

    Checks: heavy-assets

  5. 5

    Address Indexability Warnings

    Why: Indexability issues can prevent your pages from being indexed, reducing their visibility.

    How: Review and resolve warnings for 63 indexable pages, particularly those missing canonical tags.

    Checks: indexability

Security review

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

This review identifies key security issues on your website, including missing headers that can protect user privacy and security. Addressing these findings will enhance the overall security posture of your site and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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

    Cookie Flags MissingMedium

    Why it matters: One cookie lacks protective flags, making it vulnerable to theft and unauthorized access.

    Fix: Set the cookie 'PHPSESSID' with the attributes 'Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax'.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  2. 2

    Leaked Google API KeyMedium

    Why it matters: A Google API key is exposed in public code, which can lead to unauthorized use and potential charges.

    Fix: Restrict the API key in the Google Cloud console by restricting it to certain HTTP referrers.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  3. 3

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without a Referrer-Policy, full URLs with query strings are sent to external sites, potentially leaking sensitive information.

    Fix: Add the header 'Referrer-Policy: no-referrer' to all HTML responses.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  4. 4

    Third-Party Scripts Lack Integrity ChecksLow

    Why it matters: Scripts from external sources can be compromised, possibly injecting malicious code on your site.

    Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy that specifies trusted sources for additional protection.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

  5. 5

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Absence of a Permissions-Policy means potentially unsafe scripts can access features like camera or geolocation.

    Fix: Add the header 'Permissions-Policy: geometry=(self)' to all HTML responses to mitigate risks.

    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.

  • 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.)

  • OKForms over HTTPS

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

  • OKVulnerable JavaScript libraries

    1 library version recognised, none with known vulnerabilities.
