82/ 100Good

On September 14, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 3761 pages and 240 assets of www.lawsociety.ab.ca, starting from https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/. It scored 82 out of 100, a good result. 13 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (2,414), title tags (1,489), headings (2,414); 5 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−5.4), title tags (−4.1), headings (−4). 9 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 10 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 crawl

The website has security weaknesses that need attention, particularly in protecting against clickjacking and using outdated JavaScript libraries. Implementing the recommended fixes will improve security significantly.

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

    Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium

    Why it matters: 153 HTML pages do not send 'X-Frame-Options', allowing potential embedding in malicious frames.

    Fix: Add the header 'X-Frame-Options: DENY' or 'Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'none'' to protect against clickjacking.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  2. 2

    Outdated JavaScript LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: jQuery 3.1.0 and Bootstrap 4.0.0 contain known vulnerabilities, which could affect site security.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to version 3.5.0 and Bootstrap to version 4.3.1 to mitigate these vulnerabilities.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  3. 3

    Third-Party Scripts Lack Subresource IntegrityLow

    Why it matters: Scripts from four domains can be modified without detection, potentially compromising site security.

    Fix: Consider implementing Subresource Integrity (SRI) for third-party scripts or use a Content-Security-Policy that restricts sources.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

What the checks found

  • FoundClickjacking protectionMedium

    153 of 3601 HTML pages send 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.

  • FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium

    2 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 3.1.0, Bootstrap 4.0.0. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.

    • jQuery 3.1.0 in https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/js/placeholders.jq…: CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
    • 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 4 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.)
