Fix plan
Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findingsThere are several critical SEO issues to address, including broken links and redirect chains. Some pages also lack meta descriptions and proper headings, both of which affect usability and indexing. Prioritizing these fixes will enhance your site’s performance.
- 1
Fix Broken Links
Why: Broken links negatively impact user experience and SEO.
How: Update or remove links pointing to the broken URLs.
Checks: broken-links
- 2
Reduce Redirect Chains
Why: Redirect chains slow down page loading and create confusion for crawlers.
How: Identify and streamline chains by connecting directly to the final target URLs.
Checks: redirects
- 3
Improve Meta Descriptions
Why: Missing or poor meta descriptions decrease click-through rates.
How: Write unique, concise meta descriptions for all affected pages.
Evidence: 94 pages have no meta description at all.

Checks: meta-descriptions
- 4
Fix Title Tag Issues
Why: Missing or long title tags can hinder visibility in search results.
How: Craft or adjust titles to be unique and within 60 characters.
Checks: titles
- 5
Add Missing Headings
Why: Headings structure content and help search engines understand the page.
How: Add H1 tags to pages lacking them, ensuring they are descriptive.
Checks: headings
- 6
Optimize Heavy Assets
Why: Large assets slow down page load times, affecting user experience and SEO.
How: Compress images and consider removing unused large assets.
Evidence: 4.2 MB of image, loaded by 6 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.
6 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.

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlYour website has several security vulnerabilities that need immediate attention. Key issues include a lack of HTTP Strict Transport Security, Content Security Policy, and clickjacking protection. Additionally, an outdated version of jQuery has known vulnerabilities. Implement the recommended headers and update your libraries to enhance security.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 3 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport SecurityMedium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors accessing via HTTP can be intercepted on their first request.
Fix: Add the header 'Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains' to your response.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: Absence of CSP allows unrestricted loading of scripts, which can lead to security vulnerabilities.
Fix: Add the header 'Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'' to your response.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 3
Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, your site can be embedded in malicious frames.
Fix: Add the header 'X-Frame-Options: DENY' to your response.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 4
Outdated jQuery VersionMedium
Why it matters: Version 2.9.30 has known vulnerabilities that might be exploited depending on usage.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least version 3.5.0 to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 5
Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow
Why it matters: Without X-Content-Type-Options, browsers might execute a file as a script based on its contents.
Fix: Add the header 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' to your response.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 6
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Without a Referrer Policy, full URL information is sent to other sites when navigating.
Fix: Add the header 'Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade' to your response.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Server Version DisclosureLow
Why it matters: Revealing server version information can help attackers identify vulnerabilities.
Fix: Remove 'x-powered-by' in your responses and configure your server to hide version information.
Evidence: Software version disclosure
- 8
Missing Permissions PolicyInfo
Why it matters: Absence of this header allows potential misuse of browser features by injected scripts.
Fix: Add the header 'Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self), microphone=(self), camera=(self)' to your response.
Evidence: Permissions policy

- FoundSoftware version disclosureLow
Responses reveal the exact server or framework version, which lets an attacker look up known vulnerabilities for it without guessing.
- server: cloudflare (1325 responses)
- x-powered-by: WP Rocket/3.21.0.1 (1 response)
- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 2.9.30. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 2.9.30 in https://www.dentalchoice.ca/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jqu…: CVE-2015-9251 (XSS via cross-domain AJAX), CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 6 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.)
- pfx.leadmanagerfx.com (40 script tags)
- cdn.callrail.com (40 script tags)
- unpkg.com (40 script tags)
- code.jquery.com (41 script tags)
- cdn.jsdelivr.net (44 script tags)
- www.google.com (40 script tags)
- NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt
robots.txt lists 1 path that look private. robots.txt is public and does not restrict access, so it doubles as a map for anyone probing the site; those paths need real access control.
- Disallow: /wp-admin/
