Download SQLite databaseEvery page and asset from this scan, with the crawl events, in one file.
On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4937 pages and 625 assets of www.bcgsearch.com, starting from https://www.bcgsearch.com/. It scored 73 out of 100, a result that needs work. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by title tags (2,753), heavy assets (69), sitemap coverage (3,223); 6 checks passed. Most of the points went to title tags (−6.4), heavy assets (−6), sitemap coverage (−4.5). 14 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.

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe site has several security weaknesses, including missing Content Security Policy and cookie protections. Addressing these will strengthen defenses against attacks like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and clickjacking. Additionally, some JavaScript libraries are vulnerable and should be updated to newer versions.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: Without a CSP, the site is at higher risk for XSS attacks as it allows resources to load from any source.
Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy header, e.g., `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';`.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Lack of X-Frame-Options for Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: The absence of this header means pages can be embedded in frames, increasing clickjacking risks.
Fix: Add the header `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or use a CSP directive.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Cookies Missing Security FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without Secure, HttpOnly, or SameSite flags can be accessed by scripts or sent in unsafe contexts.
Fix: Set flags as follows: `Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=...; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict`.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using outdated libraries can expose the site to known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Update libraries to: jQuery to 3.5.0 or higher, jQuery UI to 1.13.2, Bootstrap to 4.3.1 or higher.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 5
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Absence of a referrer policy can leak users' previous page URLs when navigating away from your site.
Fix: Add a header like `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 6
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on HTTPS pages can compromise security.
Fix: Change resource links to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 7
No Permissions Policy SetInfo
Why it matters: Lack of a permissions policy allows all features by default, which could be exploited if scripts are injected.
Fix: Implement a Permissions-Policy header, e.g., `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()`.
Evidence: Permissions policy
What the checks found
- FoundContent Security PolicyMedium
