On October 18, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 841 pages and 482 assets of www.dentalchoice.ca, starting from https://www.dentalchoice.ca/. It scored 75 out of 100, a good result. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (39), meta descriptions (213), redirects (438); 8 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), meta descriptions (−4.5), redirects (−4). 12 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 crawl

The security review of www.dentalchoice.ca identified multiple issues related to security headers and software vulnerabilities. Key concerns include the absence of HTTP Strict Transport Security and Content Security Policy, which could make the site vulnerable to interception and injection attacks. Immediate remediations are required to safeguard user data and mitigate risks.

  • 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 on their first request when using HTTP instead of HTTPS, compromising data confidentiality.

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

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: No CSP means unrestricted loading of scripts, potentially exposing the site to cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Lack of X-Frame-Options allows clickjacking, where attackers can overlay deceptive frames over your site.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript Library FoundMedium

    Why it matters: The site uses jQuery 2.9.30, which has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited, depending on usage.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later to fix vulnerabilities.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers might incorrectly interpret files as scripts, leading to potential script injection attacks.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Lack of a referrer policy exposes full page URLs, including sensitive information, to third-party sites when users navigate away.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Server Banner ExposureLow

    Why it matters: Revealing server and framework version exposes the site to targeted attacks based on known vulnerabilities.

    Fix: Remove or obscure the header: Server

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  8. 8

    Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo

    Why it matters: Not using a Permissions-Policy limits unnecessary access to site features by browser scripts, reducing attack vectors.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: mitigations for features not in use

    Evidence: Permissions policy
