Download SQLite databaseEvery page and asset from this scan, with the crawl events, in one file.
On November 2, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4937 pages and 631 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 (2,870), heavy assets (75), sitemap coverage (3,339); 6 checks passed. Most of the points went to title tags (−6.6), heavy assets (−6), sitemap coverage (−4.6). 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 significant SEO issues, particularly with broken links and non-200 responses, which need immediate attention. Address these to improve user experience and search visibility.
- 1
Fix Broken Links
Why: Broken links hinder user experience and can lead to ranking issues.
How: Identify and repair or remove 565 broken URLs. Use a tool like Screaming Frog for quick fixes.
Checks: broken-links
- 2
Resolve Non-200 Responses
Why: 610 URLs not returning 2xx status can negatively impact SEO and user experience.
How: Investigate and fix or remove these URLs for better site health.
Checks: status-codes
- 3
Update Title Tags
Why: 2870 pages have title issues that can affect search rankings.
How: Craft unique and relevant titles for each affected page to improve SEO.
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
Improve Meta Descriptions
Why: 1207 pages have meta description issues impacting click-through rates from search results.
How: Rewrite meta descriptions to ensure they accurately describe page content and stay within 160 characters.
Checks: meta-descriptions
- 5
Address Heavy Assets
Why: Large assets can slow down page load times, affecting user experience.
How: Compress or replace heavy assets above 500KB, particularly PDFs and media files.
Evidence: 9.5 MB of document, loaded by 13 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.
13 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
- 6
Fix Orphan Pages
Why: 1 orphan page can cause issues with discoverability in search engines.
How: Link the orphan page within the site structure to enhance its visibility.
Checks: orphan-pages

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe site has multiple security issues, including the lack of Content Security Policy and proper cookie flags, exposing it to attacks such as clickjacking and cross-site scripting. Several libraries are outdated and vulnerable. Implementing the recommended fixes will enhance security significantly.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 2 low
- 0 info
- 1
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: Without it, the site is vulnerable to XSS attacks as scripts may load from any source.
Fix: Add a Content-Security-Policy header: "Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';"
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Pages can be embedded in frames, endangering user interaction.
Fix: Add an X-Frame-Options header: "X-Frame-Options: DENY".
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Cookies Missing Security FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Lack of HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite flags allows cookie theft and CSRF attacks.
Fix: Set cookies with flags: "Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=...; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax".
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Libraries with known vulnerabilities expose the site to potential exploits.
Fix: Upgrade libraries: jQuery to >= 3.5.0, jQuery UI to >= 1.13.2, Bootstrap to >= 4.3.1.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 5
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Exposing the full URL of pages users visit can lead to unintended data leakage.
Fix: Add a Referrer-Policy header: "Referrer-Policy: no-referrer".
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 6
Mixed Content DetectedLow
Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on HTTPS pages can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Fix: Ensure all resources are loaded over HTTPS.
Evidence: Mixed content
