75/ 100Good

On November 4, 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 (40), 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.

Fix plan

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

The crawl revealed several issues needing attention, including broken links, redirects, and meta description problems. Prioritizing high-impact fixes will enhance user experience and SEO performance.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: 11 internal links lead to broken URLs, harming navigation.

    How: Identify and update or remove links pointing to broken URLs like /?post_type=speciality&p=2523.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Streamline Redirects

    Why: 424 redirects, including 48 chained, slow down site performance.

    How: Evaluate and reduce redirect chains to direct links, like those pointing to /services/dental-implants.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Improve Meta Descriptions

    Why: 213 pages have issues with meta descriptions, affecting click-through rates.

    How: Write unique meta descriptions for 94 pages without them; enhance 7 pages with shared descriptions.

    Evidence: 94 pages have no meta description at all.

    94 pages affected

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  4. 4

    Address Non-200 Responses

    Why: 461 URLs received a non-2xx response, risks losing valuable traffic.

    How: Fix URLs returning errors to ensure all pages are accessible.

    Checks: status-codes

  5. 5

    Rework Heavy Assets

    Why: 40 assets exceed 500 KB, potentially slowing down page load times.

    How: Compress large images and ensure they're optimized for web use, focusing on the largest files first like the 7.2 MB image.

    Checks: heavy-assets

  6. 6

    Add Missing Headings

    Why: 31 pages lack proper heading structures, which is important for SEO.

    How: Add H1 tags to pages without them, ensuring each page has a unique and relevant heading.

    Checks: headings

Security review

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

The website lacks several important security headers and is using a vulnerable version of jQuery, which could expose it to various attacks. Implementing the recommended security measures can help protect against common web threats.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Absence of HSTS allows interception of requests when users access the site via HTTP.

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

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    No Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: Lack of CSP means no restrictions on script, style, or frame sources, increasing XSS risk.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    No X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Without this header, the site is vulnerable to clickjacking attacks.

    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 the site to multiple security vulnerabilities.

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

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Missing X-Content-Type-OptionsLow

    Why it matters: Without this, browsers may interpret files incorrectly, leading to potential script execution issues.

    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 leak sensitive URL information to third parties.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Server Version DisclosureLow

    Why it matters: Exposure of server details can help attackers target known vulnerabilities.

    Fix: Remove or modify the server response headers to limit version details.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  8. 8

    No Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Lacking this header, unwanted browser features could be activated if an attacker injects a script.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=().

    Evidence: Permissions policy
