Fix plan

Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findings

The audit revealed multiple areas for improvement, including broken links, meta issues, and heavy assets. Prioritizing these fixes will enhance both user experience and SEO performance.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: Broken links hinder user navigation and SEO rankings.

    How: Update or remove the internal links pointing to broken URLs.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Optimize Redirects

    Why: Chained redirects slow down page loading and dilute link equity.

    How: Consolidate chained redirects into direct links where possible.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Revise Meta Descriptions

    Why: Missing or issues with meta descriptions affect click-through rates.

    How: Create unique meta descriptions for the 94 pages without them and adjust those with issues.

  4. 4

    Address Title Tag Issues

    Why: Effective title tags are key for search visibility.

    How: Correct missing and overly long title tags for affected pages.

Security review

Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawl

Your website has several security vulnerabilities that need immediate attention. Missing headers can allow attackers to exploit your site, and using outdated libraries can lead to security breaches. Implementing correct security headers and updating libraries will significantly enhance your site's safety.

  • 0 high
  • 4 medium
  • 3 low
  • 1 info
  1. 1

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users can be intercepted when types the address without HTTPS.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Lack of Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: No CSP means the browser can load resources from any source, raising XSS risk.

    Fix: Add the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: Without frame options, your pages can be embedded and manipulated in unauthorized frames.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript Library DetectedMedium

    Why it matters: Using jQuery 2.9.30 exposes you to known vulnerabilities that may be exploited.

    Fix: Update jQuery to version 3.5.0 or higher.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Absence of MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow

    Why it matters: Without this protection, browsers might execute files as scripts unexpectedly.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: No referrer policy may expose users' full page addresses when navigating away.

    Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Server Version DisclosureLow

    Why it matters: Revealing server details makes it easier for attackers to exploit known vulnerabilities.

    Fix: Remove the X-Powered-By header or use: X-Powered-By: <Your_Custom_Value>.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  8. 8

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Not restricting browser features increases the risk of unauthorized access via scripts.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self).

    Evidence: Permissions policy

  • 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.)
