80/ 100GoodNot a full crawl

On September 12, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4285 pages and 8 assets of www.bcgsearch.com, starting from https://www.bcgsearch.com/. It scored 80 out of 100, a good result. 12 of 26 checks found something to fix, led by title tags (2,302), broken links (585), sitemap coverage (1,803); 5 checks passed. Most of the points went to title tags (−6.4), broken links (−3.2), sitemap coverage (−3). 9 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 11 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

Written from an earlier version of the analysis. The findings on this page have been recomputed since, so counts and labels here may differ from what the plan describes. The advice still points at the same checks.

The site has several significant SEO issues that need addressing, particularly broken links, missing sitemap, and numerous title and meta description problems. Resolving these will improve both user experience and search visibility.

    How: Identify and update or remove links to the broken URLs listed in the crawl findings.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Add Sitemap

    Why: No sitemap found, which can hinder search engines from indexing pages effectively.

    How: Create a new sitemap.xml file with all URLs and place it at /sitemap.xml. Also, include it in robots.txt.

    Checks: sitemap-coverage

  3. 3

    Resolve Non-200 Responses

    Why: 681 URLs are returning non-200 status codes, affecting page accessibility.

    How: Review and fix the URLs returning non-200 responses based on the crawl report.

    Checks: status-codes

  4. 4

    Checks: titles

  5. 5

    Enhance Meta Descriptions

    Why: 928 meta descriptions are problematic, which can reduce CTR.

    How: Revise meta descriptions to be under 160 characters and more appealing to users.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  6. 6

    Address Heading Issues

    Why: 119 pages have heading issues, affecting content structure and SEO.

    How: Standardize heading tags by ensuring each page has a single H1 tag and properly structuring H2 and H3 tags.

    Checks: headings

Security review

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

The website has several security issues, primarily the absence of a Content Security Policy and clickjacking protection, along with using a vulnerable version of Bootstrap. These need immediate attention to enhance security against potential attacks.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Without a CSP, the site is vulnerable to cross-site scripting and data injection attacks.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Lack of Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: Pages can be embedded in frames, increasing risk of clickjacking attacks.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY;

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Vulnerable JavaScript LibraryMedium

    Why it matters: Bootstrap 4.0.0 has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

    Fix: Upgrade Bootstrap to version 4.3.1 or later.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  4. 4

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP can compromise the security of HTTPS pages.

    Fix: Update all resource URLs to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.

    Evidence: Mixed content

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 3605 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.

  • NoteThird-party scripts

    Scripts run from 7 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.)

  • NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt
