77/ 100Good

On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 73 pages and 200 assets of www.mccollege.ca, starting from https://www.mccollege.ca/. It scored 77 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.

Fix plan

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

    Checks: titles

  3. 3

    Enhance Meta Descriptions

    Why: Meta descriptions are lacking or too short, reducing click-through rates.

    How: Create unique, engaging meta descriptions under 160 characters for all pages without them.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  4. 4

    Add Missing Headings

    Why: Missing H1 headings can harm SEO and user navigation.

Security review

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

The website lacks essential security headers like HSTS, Content Security Policy, and X-Frame-Options, making it vulnerable to interception, content hijacking, and other attacks. Immediate action is needed to enhance security.

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

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors using HTTP may be at risk of interception on their first request.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: Lack of CSP allows unrestricted loading of scripts and resources, increasing XSS risk.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Absence of this header enables clickjacking attacks by allowing embedding of the site in a frame.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer-PolicyLow

    Why it matters: No referrer policy means sensitive URL details could be sent to other sites.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  5. 5

    Third-party Scripts Without Subresource IntegrityLow

    Why it matters: Running scripts from another domain without integrity checks poses security risks.

    Fix: Consider implementing a Content Security Policy to manage allowed sources.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions-PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Lack of this header could allow misuse of browser features not in use on the site.

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

    Evidence: Permissions policy
