On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4928 pages and 631 assets of www.bcgsearch.com, starting from https://www.bcgsearch.com/. It scored 74 out of 100, a result that needs work. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by title tags (2,616), heavy assets (75), sitemap coverage (3,165); 6 checks passed. Most of the points went to title tags (−6.1), 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 crawlYour website has several security issues that need attention, particularly a lack of key security headers, missing cookie protections, and outdated JavaScript libraries. Implementing these fixes will help protect your users against various attacks.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 2 low
- 0 info
- 1
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: None of the HTML pages restrict script and style sources, increasing vulnerability to attacks.
Fix: Add the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Most HTML pages lack the X-Frame-Options header, allowing clickjacking attacks.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY;
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Missing Cookie Protection FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies are accessible to scripts and can be sent insecurely.
Fix: Set flags for cookies: Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Outdated JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using vulnerable versions of libraries may expose you to known attacks.
Fix: Upgrade the following libraries: jQuery to 3.5.0, jQuery UI to 1.13.2, and Bootstrap to 4.3.1.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 5
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: No policy to restrict the information shared with other sites can expose sensitive URLs.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade;
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 6
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Some resources are loaded over HTTP on HTTPS pages, leading to security risks.
Fix: Ensure all resources use HTTPS, updating URLs where necessary.
Evidence: Mixed content
