Fix plan

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

Your website has a good health score, but there are several issues that need fixing. Prioritize resolving broken links, indexability warnings, and optimizing title tags and meta descriptions for better SEO performance.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: 71 internal links point to broken URLs, impacting user experience.

    How: Identify and remove or update broken links. Ensure that all links lead to valid pages.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Address Indexability Warnings

    Why: 91 pages have indexability issues that may hinder search engine visibility.

    How: Resolve conflicts with canonical and noindex directives. Ensure proper indexing of important pages.

    Checks: indexability

  3. 3

    Optimize Title Tags

    Why: 165 pages have title issues, which can affect search ranking.

    How: Review and update title tags to ensure they are concise and contain relevant keywords. Keep titles within 60 characters.

    Checks: titles

  4. 4

    Improve Meta Descriptions

    Why: 229 pages have meta description issues that may affect click-through rates.

    How: Create descriptive and compelling meta descriptions under 160 characters for all affected pages.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  5. 5

    Fix Redirect Chains

    Why: 205 URLs are redirecting, with 121 of them chained, potentially slowing page load times.

    How: Streamline redirects by reducing the chain length and ensuring efficient direct routing.

    Checks: redirects

  6. 6

    Add Missing Headings

    Why: Many pages are missing H1 tags or have multiple, affecting their structure.

    How: Ensure each page has a single, relevant H1 tag. Review other headings for proper hierarchy.

    Checks: headings

Security review

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

Your site has several security issues that need addressing to protect against vulnerabilities like clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and unauthorized cookie access. Implementing recommended headers and secure cookie flags will enhance your site's security posture significantly.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Without a CSP header, browsers can load scripts and resources from anywhere, increasing the risk of cross-site scripting attacks.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    No Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: Lack of X-Frame-Options allows your pages to be embedded in iframes, making them vulnerable to clickjacking.

    Fix: Add the following header: `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or use a CSP frame-ancestors directive.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Cookies Missing Security FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Cookies without Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags can be vulnerable to theft via scripts and exposure in transit.

    Fix: Set flags for cookies: `Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax`.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  4. 4

    Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow

    Why it matters: Without the X-Content-Type-Options header, browsers might incorrectly interpret files, leading to security issues.

    Fix: Add the following header: `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    No Referrer Policy SetLow

    Why it matters: Without a referrer policy, full URLs including sensitive data are sent to external sites, risking information leakage.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Without a permissions-policy, potentially harmful features could be exploited by malicious scripts.

    Fix: Add the following header: `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self), microphone=()`. Adjust as necessary.

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 609 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.
