On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4693 pages and 1298 assets of www.dentistdirectorycanada.ca, starting from https://www.dentistdirectorycanada.ca/. It scored 74 out of 100, a result that needs work. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (1,929), heavy assets (21), title tags (935); 5 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−6.8), heavy assets (−6), title tags (−4.1). 15 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 crawlThe security review revealed several critical issues on your website, including missing security headers, cookie flags, and mixed content.

- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 3 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HSTS HeaderMedium
Why it matters: Without HTTP Strict Transport Security, visitors can be intercepted on initial requests not using HTTPS.
Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: The absence of X-Frame-Options allows clickjacking attacks by embedding your pages in frames on malicious sites.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Missing Cookie FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without flags are vulnerable to theft and transmission over insecure connections.
Fix: Set cookies with: Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Leaked Google API KeyMedium
Why it matters: Exposing a Google API key in the site code can lead to unauthorized use and billing.
Fix: Restrict its use in the Google Cloud console to specific referrers and APIs.
Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code
- 5
Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow
Why it matters: Not having this header can lead browsers to incorrectly interpret the content type, allowing script execution.
Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 6
Missing Referrer Policy HeaderLow
Why it matters: Absence of a Referrer Policy exposes full URLs, which may contain sensitive data, to other sites.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP undermines the security of your HTTPS pages, allowing potential interception.
Fix: Update links to use HTTPS instead of HTTP for all resources.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 8
Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo
Why it matters: Lack of a permissions policy could allow unnecessary access to features that might be exploited.
Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self).
Evidence: Permissions policy

- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 5 other domains without Subresource Integrity, so a compromise of any of them changes what runs on this site. (Tag managers and analytics rarely support SRI; a Content-Security-Policy that names these hosts is the usual control.)

- NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt
robots.txt lists 1 path that look private. robots.txt is public and does not restrict access, so it doubles as a map for anyone probing the site; those paths need real access control.
