83/ 100Good

On September 25, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4913 pages and 998 assets of www.accountingfirms.co.uk, starting from https://www.accountingfirms.co.uk/. It scored 83 out of 100, a good result. 14 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (8), title tags (966), sitemap coverage (1,561); 3 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−4.8), title tags (−3.2), sitemap coverage (−3.1). 10 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

This security review identifies several key vulnerabilities and recommendations for improving your site's security. Notably, your site lacks crucial HTTP headers that protect against man-in-the-middle attacks, clickjacking, and data exposure. Addressing these issues promptly will enhance your site's defenses.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users may accidentally connect over HTTP, enabling interception.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Lack of Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: Absence of X-Frame-Options allows potential clickjacking attacks.

    Fix: Implement the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY or Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none';

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Leaked Google API KeyMedium

    Why it matters: Exposure of API keys can allow unauthorized access if not configured correctly.

    Fix: Restrict the usage of the Google API key in the Google Cloud console, using HTTP referrers.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  4. 4

    Missing Content-Type Options (MIME Sniffing Protection)Low

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may misinterpret file types, leading to security risks.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Absence of Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Not setting this policy can expose sensitive page URLs in referrer headers.

    Fix: Implement the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  6. 6

    Inconsistent Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Not all pages implement Permissions-Policy, exposing unused capabilities.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()

    Evidence: Permissions policy
