81/ 100Good

On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 107 pages and 233 assets of www.lairdcowley.com, starting from https://www.lairdcowley.com/. It scored 81 out of 100, a good result. 10 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (27), heavy assets (6), title tags (17); 13 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−3.6), heavy assets (−3.6), title tags (−2.8). 10 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

Your site has a good health score, but there are issues with broken links, redirects, title tags, meta descriptions, and more. Prioritize fixes to enhance user experience and SEO.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: These broken links can harm user experience and SEO.

    How: Update/remove links pointing to broken URLs (e.g., /tom-bell/).

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Address Redirects

    Why: Chained redirects can slow site performance and confuse search engines.

    How: Simplify URLs and minimize redirects, especially the 7 chained ones.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Optimize Title Tags

    Why: Missing/incorrect title tags can affect click-through rates.

    How: Revise titles exceeding 60 characters or too brief; ensure uniqueness.

    Checks: titles

  4. 4

    Improve Meta Descriptions

    Why: Missing descriptions can result in lower search visibility.

    How: Add concise, unique meta descriptions for all pages without them.

    Evidence: 23 pages have no meta description at all.

    23 pages affected

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  5. 5

    Resolve Indexability Warnings

    Why: Pages listed as noindex should not be in the sitemap, hindering SEO.

    How: Remove noindex pages from the sitemap or change their index status.

    Checks: indexability, sitemap-coverage

  6. 6

    Shrink Heavy Assets

    Why: Large assets slow down page loading times which can impact user experience.

    How: Reduce sizes of large scripts/stylesheets or move non-essential ones.

    Evidence: 452 KB of stylesheet, loaded by 50 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.

    50 pages affected

    Depends on: If it is a download rather than part of the page, weight matters less; move it out of the page instead.

    Checks: heavy-assets

Generated automatically; verify each change against your own site before relying on it.

Security review

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

Your website has several important security issues that need attention, including missing response headers like HTTP Strict Transport Security and Content Security Policy. Additionally, there are vulnerabilities in an outdated JavaScript library and exposed API keys. Addressing these concerns will help enhance your site's security and protect user data.

  • 0 high
  • 5 medium
  • 2 low
  • 1 info
  1. 1

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport SecurityMedium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users can be intercepted on their first request if they type the address without HTTPS.

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

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: No CSP means scripts and styles can be loaded from anywhere, increasing XSS risk.

    Fix: Add `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';` to response headers.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-OptionsMedium

    Why it matters: Without it, your pages can be embedded in frames, risking clickjacking attacks.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript LibraryMedium

    Why it matters: jQuery 2.8.18 has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited depending on usage.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 or higher.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Leaked Google API KeyMedium

    Why it matters: An exposed API key can lead to unauthorized access to your Google services.

    Fix: Restrict the API key in the Google Cloud console by HTTP referrer and review its usage.

    Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code

  6. 6

    Missing X-Content-Type-OptionsLow

    Why it matters: The absence of this header may allow browsers to incorrectly interpret files.

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

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  7. 7

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Without a referrer policy, full addresses are sent when users navigate away.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  8. 8

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: No policy means all browser features remain available, which could be exploited.

    Fix: Add `Permissions-Policy: none` to response headers to limit features.

    Evidence: Permissions policy
