Fix plan
Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findingsWritten from an earlier version of the analysis (rules v4). The findings on this page have been recomputed since, so counts and labels here may differ from what the plan describes. The advice still points at the same checks.
Your site has significant issues with broken links, non-200 responses, and missing SEO elements like titles and meta descriptions. Address these to improve user experience and search visibility.
- 1
Fix Broken Links
Why: Resolving broken links enhances user experience and improves site trustworthiness.
How: Identify if the linked pages were deleted on purpose. If yes, remove the links; otherwise, restore the content or redirect appropriately.
Evidence: https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/?page_id=28250 answers 403, and 81 pages link to it with anchor text such as "Professional Regulatory Body Review".
81 pages affected
- https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/
- https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/about-us/
- https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/about-us/about-us/
- https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/about-us/awards/distinguished-service-awards/
- https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/about-us/awards/scholarships/
Depends on: If the destination was deleted on purpose, remove the links rather than redirecting to an unrelated page.
Checks: broken-links, status-codes
- 2
Resolve Non-200 Responses
Why: Fixing these responses will boost accessibility and performance for users and search engines.
How: Review the URLs returning non-200 responses and either revive the pages or remove them if not needed.
Checks: status-codes
- 3
Revise Title Tags
Why: Optimizing title tags can improve click-through rates from search results.
How: Ensure each title is unique and less than 60 characters, accurately reflecting the page content.
Checks: titles
- 4
Update Meta Descriptions
Why: Unique meta descriptions enhance search visibility and provide clearer page summaries.
How: Draft unique descriptions for each page that are concise and under 155 characters.
Checks: meta-descriptions
- 5
Fix Heading Structure
Why: Correct headings improve on-page SEO and user navigation on your website.
How: Ensure each page has one H1 tag that summarizes the page's topic and use H2s for subsections.
Checks: headings
- 6
Create a Sitemap
Why: A sitemap helps search engines crawl your site more effectively, indexing all important pages.
How: Generate a sitemap listing all relevant URLs and place it at /sitemap.xml or list it in robots.txt.
Checks: sitemap-coverage
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 crawlThe website lacks important security headers, which can expose it to various threats including clickjacking and malicious script execution. Additionally, it uses an outdated JavaScript library that has known vulnerabilities. Implementing security headers and updating libraries will significantly enhance security.
- 0 high
- 3 medium
- 0 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing Content Security PolicyMedium
Why it matters: Without a CSP, the website is vulnerable to cross-site scripting and other injection attacks, allowing scripts from any source.
Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy header: `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';`
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 2
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: Absence of this header exposes the site to clickjacking attacks, allowing other sites to embed its content maliciously.
Fix: Add the header: `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or use a CSP with `frame-ancestors` directive.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Outdated Bootstrap LibraryMedium
Why it matters: Bootstrap 4.0.0 contains several known vulnerabilities, which could be exploited based on usage.
Fix: Upgrade to at least Bootstrap version 4.3.1 to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 4
Missing Permissions Policy HeaderInfo
Why it matters: Without this header, the site may allow use of sensitive features like camera or microphone by injected scripts.
Fix: Add a Permissions-Policy header: `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self), microphone=(), camera=()`
Evidence: Permissions policy
What the checks found
- FoundContent Security PolicyMedium
None of the 81 HTML pages send a Content-Security-Policy header or meta tag, so the browser has no restriction on where scripts, styles and frames may load from.

- https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/public/ → no content-security-policy
- FoundClickjacking protectionMedium
No HTML page sends x-frame-options. Without X-Frame-Options (or a CSP frame-ancestors directive) the pages can be embedded in a frame on another site and overlaid with invisible controls.

- https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/public/ → no x-frame-options
- FoundPermissions policyInfo
No HTML page sends permissions-policy. A Permissions-Policy header turns off browser features the site does not use (camera, microphone, geolocation), limiting what an injected script could do.

- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
1 library with published vulnerabilities: Bootstrap 4.0.0. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- Bootstrap 4.0.0 in https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/js/bootstrap.min.js?ver=4.0.0: CVE-2018-14040, CVE-2018-14041, CVE-2018-14042, CVE-2019-8331 (XSS through data attributes in tooltip, popover, collapse and scrollspy); fixed in 4.3.1
- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 3 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.)
- www.googletagmanager.com (40 script tags)
- www.google.com (40 script tags)
- use.typekit.net (40 script tags)
