On October 19, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 841 pages and 483 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

This security review highlights several important vulnerabilities on your site, particularly the lack of security headers and the use of an outdated JavaScript library. These weaknesses can expose your users to risks such as data interception and script injection. Immediate action is necessary to mitigate these issues.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users may be intercepted if they access the site without HTTPS.

    Fix: Add `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload` to your HTTP response headers.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: A lack of CSP allows potential malicious sites to load scripts and frames on your pages.

    Fix: Implement a CSP by adding `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';` to your response headers.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing Clickjacking Protection (X-Frame-Options)Medium

    Why it matters: Without this header, your content can be embedded in an iframe by malicious sites.

    Fix: Add `X-Frame-Options: DENY` to your HTTP response headers.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: The outdated jQuery version exposes the site to several known vulnerabilities.

    Fix: Update jQuery to at least version 3.5.0 to fix these vulnerabilities.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Missing MIME Sniffing Protection (X-Content-Type-Options)Low

    Why it matters: Without this, browsers may incorrectly interpret files as scripts, resulting in security risks.

    Fix: Add `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` to your HTTP response headers.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without a referrer policy, full page addresses are sent to external sites, exposing user data.

    Fix: Add `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` to your HTTP response headers.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Server Banner DisclosureLow

    Why it matters: Exposing server version information can lead to targeted attacks.

    Fix: Remove or obscure the header values for `Server` and `X-Powered-By` to prevent revealing sensitive information.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  8. 8

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: A permissions policy can turn off unused browser features preventing misuse by injected scripts.

    Fix: Add `Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()` to your HTTP response headers.

    Evidence: Permissions policy
