On November 2, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 1840 pages and 754 assets of www.pitblado.com, starting from https://www.pitblado.com/. It scored 57 out of 100, a result that needs work. 12 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by non-200 responses (632), meta descriptions (440), title tags (328); 5 checks passed. Most of the points went to non-200 responses (−10), meta descriptions (−7.6), title tags (−7.1). 16 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 crawlThe security review of www.pitblado.com identified several important concerns, primarily related to missing security headers, outdated JavaScript libraries, and exposed server details. Implementing the recommended fixes will enhance the site's security posture significantly.
- 0 high
- 2 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Cookies Lacking Protective FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without flags can be accessed by scripts or sent over unencrypted connections, increasing the risk of theft.
Fix: Set the cookie with these attributes: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Strict
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 2
Outdated and Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Using older versions of jQuery exposes the site to known vulnerabilities that may be exploited.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least version 3.5.0
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 3
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Without a Referrer-Policy, sensitive URL information can be shared with sites that users navigate to, increasing privacy risks.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 4
Exposed Server and PHP VersionsLow
Why it matters: Revealing server details can inform attackers about potential vulnerabilities they'd otherwise need to guess.
Fix: Remove or modify the headers: Server, X-Powered-By
Evidence: Software version disclosure
- 5
Missing Permissions PolicyInfo
Why it matters: Absence of a Permissions-Policy leaves browser features like geolocation exposed to potential exploitation via injected scripts.
Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()
Evidence: Permissions policy
What the checks found
- FoundReferrer policyLow
No HTML page sends referrer-policy. Without a Referrer-Policy the full page address, including any query string, is sent to every site a visitor clicks through to.

- https://www.pitblado.com/careers/articling-program → no referrer-policy
- FoundPermissions policyInfo
No HTML page sends permissions-policy. A Permissions-Policy header turns off browser features the site does not use (camera, microphone, geolocation), limiting what an injected script could do.
- https://www.pitblado.com/ → no permissions-policy
- https://www.pitblado.com/our-people → no permissions-policy

- https://www.pitblado.com/careers/articling-program → no permissions-policy
- FoundSoftware version disclosureLow
Responses reveal the exact server or framework version, which lets an attacker look up known vulnerabilities for it without guessing.
- server: cloudflare (2594 responses)
- x-powered-by: PHP/8.3.36 (2071 responses)
- FoundCookie flagsMedium
1 of 1 cookie are missing protective flags. Without HttpOnly a script can read the cookie; without Secure it travels over plain HTTP; without SameSite it is sent on cross-site requests.
- wp_woocommerce_session_711ed9949b1f495acfc87a515e4d95e0 (set by https://www.pitblado.com/industry/arts-and-entertainment) lacks SameSite
- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
3 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 1.9.1, jQuery 2.1.1, jQuery 2.1.4. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 1.9.1 in https://pitblado.com/templates/en/scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js: CVE-2015-9251 (XSS via cross-domain AJAX), CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
- jQuery 2.1.1 in https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js: CVE-2015-9251 (XSS via cross-domain AJAX), CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
- jQuery 2.1.4 in https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js: CVE-2015-9251 (XSS via cross-domain AJAX), CVE-2019-11358 (prototype pollution), CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023 (XSS via HTML passed to DOM methods); fixed in 3.5.0
- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 5 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.)
- code.jquery.com (80 script tags)
- cdnjs.cloudflare.com (80 script tags)
- www.googletagmanager.com (80 script tags)
- gateway.moneris.com (40 script tags)
- www.google.com (40 script tags)
- NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt
robots.txt lists 1 path that look private. robots.txt is public and does not restrict access, so it doubles as a map for anyone probing the site; those paths need real access control.
- Disallow: /wp-admin/
