77/ 100Good

On September 11, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4990 pages and 1622 assets of sprudge.com, starting from https://sprudge.com/. It scored 77 out of 100, a good result. 13 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by title tags (3,526), heavy assets (232), meta descriptions (3,059); 5 checks passed. Most of the points went to title tags (−7.9), heavy assets (−6), meta descriptions (−5.5). 9 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 10 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 crawl

The site has important security deficiencies, including a lack of HTTP Strict Transport Security and clickjacking protection. There are also issues with mixed content and MIME type handling. Addressing these vulnerabilities is critical to protect user data and enhance website integrity.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users can be intercepted when visiting the site over unsecured HTTP.

    Fix: Add the header 'Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains' to enforce HTTPS.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Without this header, your pages are vulnerable to clickjacking attacks.

    Fix: Add the header 'X-Frame-Options: DENY' to prevent framing of your pages.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Mixed Content IssuesMedium

    Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on HTTPS pages compromises security and user trust.

    Fix: Update or replace HTTP resources with their HTTPS counterparts.

    Evidence: Mixed content

  4. 4

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: This allows browsers to execute files based on content rather than declared type, risking security.

    Fix: Add the header 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' to mitigate this issue.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Third-Party Scripts Without Subresource IntegrityLow

    Why it matters: Using scripts from third parties without integrity checks can lead to malicious changes to your website.

    Fix: Consider implementing Subresource Integrity or a Content-Security-Policy that defines trusted sources.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts
