Fix plan

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

Several issues affect the site's performance, primarily broken links and meta description problems. Addressing these can enhance user experience and SEO. Focus on fixing the most critical issues first.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    How: Identify and update or remove links to the broken URLs indicated in the crawl report.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Reduce Redirects

    Why: 424 URLs are redirecting, with 48 being chained, which can slow down page load times.

    How: Consolidate or minimize the number of redirects by linking directly to the final destination URLs.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Resolve Non-200 Responses

    Why: 461 URLs are returning non-2xx responses, indicating significant accessibility issues.

    How: Check the URLs for errors and modify or remove problematic pages as needed.

    Checks: status-codes

  4. 4

    Write Missing Meta Descriptions

    Why: 213 pages lack meta descriptions, potentially harming click-through rates in search results.

    How: Create unique meta descriptions for these pages, ensuring relevance to their content.

Security review

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

The website has several security vulnerabilities primarily related to missing HTTP headers and using a vulnerable JavaScript library. Addressing these issues will enhance the site's defense against potential attacks like cross-site scripting and clickjacking.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors can be intercepted when accessing the site over 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 allows untrusted resources to load scripts, increasing XSS risk.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options for Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: The absence of this header allows your pages to be embedded in frames, risking clickjacking.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript Library DetectedMedium

    Why it matters: jQuery 2.9.30 has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited based on usage.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or higher.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    No X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers might execute files based on their content rather than their declared types.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Absence of Referrer-PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without this policy, full URLs are leaked when users navigate away, impacting privacy.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Server Version DisclosureLow

    Why it matters: Revealing your server version can help attackers find known exploits.

    Fix: Remove or modify the header: Server: [custom-value]; or adjust Cloudflare settings.

    Evidence: Software version disclosure

  8. 8

    No Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo

    Why it matters: This header limits browser features, reducing vulnerabilities if an attacker injects code.

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

    Evidence: Permissions policy
