Fix plan

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

The website has several SEO issues that need priority fixes, particularly focusing on broken links, heavy assets, and missing metadata. Implementing these changes can significantly enhance user experience and search visibility.

    Checks: heavy-assets

  3. 3

    Add Meta Descriptions

    Why: 213 pages lack meta descriptions, negatively impacting click-through rates from search results.

    How: Write unique and relevant meta descriptions for the pages without them, ensuring they are engaging and within the character limit.

    Evidence: 94 pages have no meta description at all.

Security review

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

The security review of dentalchoice.ca highlights several important vulnerabilities, particularly the absence of critical HTTP headers and the use of a vulnerable JavaScript library. Implementing recommended security headers and updating the library will enhance protection against various attack vectors.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: No HSTS header is present, risking interception of initial requests.

    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: Absence of CSP allows unrestricted script and frame loading, increasing risk of XSS.

    Fix: Implement a CSP header, e.g., Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing Clickjacking Protection (X-Frame-Options)Medium

    Why it matters: Lack of X-Frame-Options allows framing by malicious sites, exposing users to clickjacking.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript Library Detected (jQuery)Medium

    Why it matters: Using jQuery version 2.9.30 exposes vulnerabilities to attacks.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or later.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

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

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may improperly interpret content types, risking security.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without a referrer policy, sensitive URL information may be exposed to external sites.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Server Version DisclosureLow

    Why it matters: Revealing server version can aid attackers in targeting specific vulnerabilities.

    Fix: Remove or modify headers disclosing version: Server: cloudflare. Consider server optimization settings.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  8. 8

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Absence of this policy exposes features that could be exploited by injected scripts.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=() if desired.

    Evidence: Permissions policy
