Download SQLite databaseEvery page and asset from this scan, with the crawl events, in one file.
On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4928 pages and 630 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 (2,620), heavy assets (73), sitemap coverage (3,169); 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.

Fix plan
Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findingsYour site has multiple SEO issues to address, particularly broken links and title tag problems that significantly impact user experience and search visibility. Prioritize fixing these issues for better performance.
- 1
Fix Broken Links
Why: 30562 internal links point to broken URLs, impacting user experience and SEO.
How: Identify and update or remove broken links using the crawled data. Redirects can also be set up if necessary.
Checks: broken-links
- 2
Resolve Non-200 Responses
Why: 680 URLs do not return a valid response, degrading user experience.
How: Audit these URLs and fix or remove them. Ensure that each page returns a 200 status code.
Checks: status-codes
- 3
Improve Title Tags
Why: 2620 pages have title issues, harming search visibility.
How: Create unique titles for affected pages, ensure they are under 60 characters.
Evidence: 100 pages share the title "Expert Legal Recruiters for Attorneys & Lawyers | BCG Attor…", which usually means one template writes it for all of them.
100 pages affected
- https://www.bcgsearch.com/attorney_compensation_strategy.php
- https://www.bcgsearch.com/bcg_guides_Report.php
- https://www.bcgsearch.com/bcg_reader_saying.php
- https://www.bcgsearch.com/ebooks.php
- https://www.bcgsearch.com/sitesearch_bcg.php
Depends on: If these pages really are the same content, the duplicate title is a symptom: canonicalise them to one URL instead.
Checks: titles
- 4
Enhance Meta Descriptions
Why: 979 pages have meta description issues, affecting click-through rates.
How: Craft concise and compelling meta descriptions under 160 characters for all affected pages.
Checks: meta-descriptions
- 5
Address Heading Issues
Why: 118 pages have heading issues, which can confuse search engines.
How: Consolidate multiple H1s on pages and ensure proper heading structure.
Checks: headings
- 6
Reduce Heavy Assets
Why: 73 assets exceed 500 KB, which can slow down the site.
How: Compress large files and consider removing them from the page load if they are downloadable.
Evidence: 9.5 MB of document, loaded by 12 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.
12 pages affected
Depends on: If it is a download rather than part of the page, weight matters less; move it out of the page instead.
Checks: heavy-assets

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlYour website has several security gaps that need addressing to protect user data and prevent potential attacks. Key issues include missing security headers, vulnerable libraries, and insecure cookie settings. Implementing these fixes promptly will enhance the site's resilience against common web threats.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 2 low
- 0 info
- 1
Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium
Why it matters: Lack of CSP allows potentially malicious scripts to run on your site.
Fix: Implement a CSP header: `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';`
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Absence of Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, your site can be embedded in unauthorized frames, risking user interaction hijacking.
Fix: Add the header: `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN`.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Cookies Missing Security FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies lack HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite flags, making them vulnerable to theft and misuse.
Fix: Set the following flags for cookies: `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, and `SameSite=Lax`.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using outdated libraries increases risk of exploitation via known vulnerabilities.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least version 3.5.0, jQuery UI to at least 1.13.2, and Bootstrap to at least 4.3.1.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 5
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Absence of a referrer policy may disclose sensitive URL details to other sites.
Fix: Add the header: `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` or another suitable policy.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 6
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on HTTPS pages can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Fix: Change all HTTP resource URLs to HTTPS.
Evidence: Mixed content
