78/ 100Good

On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 72 pages and 200 assets of www.mccollege.ca, starting from https://www.mccollege.ca/. It scored 78 out of 100, a good result. 10 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (61), meta descriptions (50), title tags (28); 14 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), meta descriptions (−5.7), title tags (−4). 9 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 crawl

Your website has several security headers missing, which can expose it to risks such as interception, clickjacking, and unwanted data leakage. Implementing these measures is essential for enhancing your site's security posture.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users can be intercepted on their first HTTP request, leading to potential attacks.

    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: Without a CSP, the site is vulnerable to script injection attacks as it allows resources to load from any origin.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Lack of protection against clickjacking allows the site to be embedded in malicious frames.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer-PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Absence of a referrer-policy can expose sensitive URLs in request headers when navigating to other sites.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  5. 5

    Missing Permissions-PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Not using a permissions-policy can leave browser features open to misuse if an attacker injects a script.

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

    Evidence: Permissions policy
