What changed since the last scan

Score unchanged

www.mccollege.ca scored 78 out of 100 in both of its last two scans. That is a steady score, not an unchanged site: 2 findings changed between the two scans. 2 URLs the earlier crawl reached were not reached this time. The crawl reached 2 fewer pages than last time, 75 in total, so some of the change is a change in what was crawled. Across 8 scans on record the score has ended up where it started, at 78.

Fix plan

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

Written 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 website has a good health score, but there are key areas for improvement, such as redirects, meta descriptions, and headings. Addressing these will enhance SEO performance.

  1. 1

    Fix Redirects

    Why: Redirects can waste crawl budget and affect performance.

    How: Remove unnecessary redirects by updating links to point directly to the final URL.

    Checks: redirects

  2. 2

    Add Missing Meta Descriptions

    Why: Meta descriptions improve click-through rates and provide context in search results.

    How: Write unique meta descriptions for pages lacking them, focusing on relevant keywords.

    Evidence: 20 pages have no meta description at all.

    20 pages affected

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  3. 3

    Revise Title Tags

    Why: Title tags are vital for SEO; improving them can raise search rankings.

    How: Ensure each page has a unique title tag between 30-60 characters, including key terms.

    Checks: titles

  4. 4

    Add Missing Headings

    Why: Proper headings improve content structure and user experience for SEO.

    How: Add an H1 tag to pages missing it, summarizing the page content clearly.

    Checks: headings

  5. 5

    Optimize Heavy Assets

    Why: Large assets can slow down page loading times, affecting user experience.

    How: Compress images and files to reduce their size without losing quality.

    Evidence: 886 KB of image, loaded by 70 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.

    70 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

  6. 6

    Improve Image Alt Text

    Why: Adding alt text to images enhances accessibility and SEO.

    How: Provide descriptive alt attributes for images to improve indexing.

    Checks: images-alt

Security review

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

The website lacks several key security headers, making it vulnerable to various attacks. Implementing these headers will enhance user security and protect sensitive data. Immediate action is recommended.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users typing the URL without HTTPS can be intercepted.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: Absence of CSP allows unrestricted loading of scripts and frames, increasing XSS risks.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: No protection against clickjacking, allowing framing of the site by malicious pages.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Full URLs may be sent to other sites, exposing sensitive query parameters.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  5. 5

    Use of Third-party Scripts Without Integrity CheckLow

    Why it matters: Third-party scripts can introduce security risks if compromised.

    Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy that specifies trusted script sources or enable Subresource Integrity (SRI) for third-party scripts.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Not limiting browser features can allow unauthorized script actions.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()

    Evidence: Permissions policy
