Fix plan

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

The crawl revealed several SEO issues, including redirect problems, title and meta description errors, and missing alt text on images. Addressing these will enhance visibility and user experience. Key improvements include fixing titles and descriptions, optimizing large assets, and ensuring proper heading usage.

  1. 1

    Fix Redirects

    Why: Redirects can dilute link equity and confuse users.

    How: Update or remove the unnecessary redirects to improve direct access to the correct pages.

    Checks: redirects

  2. 2

    Improve Title Tags

    Why: Weak title tags hinder ranking potential and click-through rates.

    How: Revise the 28 pages with titles shorter than 30 characters for better SEO and user engagement.

    Checks: titles

  3. 3

    Enhance Meta Descriptions

    Why: Meta descriptions influence search results and can improve click-through rates.

    How: Create unique, engaging meta descriptions for the affected 50 pages based on primary keywords.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  4. 4

    Address Headings Issues

    Why: Missing headings can negatively impact SEO and content structure.

    How: Add appropriate H1 tags to the 11 pages that currently lack them.

    Checks: headings

  5. 5

    Optimize Image Alt Text

    Why: Alt text is crucial for accessibility and helps search engines understand images.

    How: Add descriptive alt text for the 840 images currently missing it.

    Checks: images-alt

  6. 6

    Reduce Heavy Assets

    Why: Large assets slow down page load times, affecting user experience and SEO.

    How: Compress or replace the large images listed in the findings to improve site speed.

    Evidence: 526 KB of image, loaded by 7 pages, so every visitor to any of them downloads it.

    7 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

Security review

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

The website www.mccollege.ca lacks crucial security headers, increasing vulnerabilities to interception, clickjacking, and script injection. It's essential to implement these protections to enhance visitor security and data privacy.

  • 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 could be intercepted on initial requests.

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

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: The absence of a CSP allows unrestricted sources for scripts and styles, raising risk of cross-site scripting.

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

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Without this header, your site can be embedded in frames of potentially malicious sites, risking clickjacking.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: The lack of a Referrer-Policy exposes the full URLs of pages visited to other sites, potentially leaking sensitive information.

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

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  5. 5

    Third-party Scripts Without Subresource IntegrityLow

    Why it matters: Scripts from another domain could change behavior if compromised, leading to user risks.

    Fix: Consider using Subresource Integrity (SRI) where possible, or implement a strict CSP that specifies trusted sources.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: Without this header, browser features could be exploited if scripts are injected.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()

    Evidence: Permissions policy
