On November 3, 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.

Fix plan
Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findingsThe site has several critical SEO issues, including broken links, redirects, and many title and meta description problems. Addressing these can significantly improve site health and visibility.
- 1
Fix broken links
Why: 873 internal links lead to broken URLs, harming user experience and SEO.
How: Identify and replace or remove broken links. Use a tool or CMS to locate the links and correct or delete them.
Checks: broken-links
- 2
Reduce redirect chains
Why: 870 redirecting URLs, with 8 of them chained, slow down site speed and can confuse search engines.
How: Eliminate unnecessary redirect hops by updating internal links to point directly to the final URLs.
Checks: redirects
- 3
Enhance title tags
Why: 328 pages have title issues that affect click-through rates.
How: Ensure all pages have unique, descriptive title tags within the optimal length (50-60 characters). Edit titles through your CMS.
Checks: titles
- 4
Improve meta descriptions
Why: 440 pages have meta description issues, impacting search visibility.
How: Add relevant, enticing meta descriptions (155-160 characters) for all pages, focusing on unique content.
Evidence: 10 pages share the meta description "Qualified small Manitoba businesses can incentivize eligibl…", which usually means one template writes it for all of them.
10 pages affected

- https://www.pitblado.com/data-privacy-day-2024
Depends on: If these pages really are the same content, the duplicate meta description is a symptom: canonicalise them to one URL instead.
Checks: meta-descriptions
- 5
Address indexability warnings
Why: 35 indexable pages have warnings that may prevent them from ranking.
How: Review these pages for noindex tags, canonical tags, and ensure they're correctly listed in sitemaps.
Checks: indexability
- 6
Update sitemap coverage
Why: 210 pages are only reachable via sitemap, which could hinder discovery by search engines.
How: Ensure all valuable pages are included in the sitemap and update it regularly.
Evidence: 210 URLs: only reachable via sitemap.

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe site has several security weaknesses that need addressing, including missing security headers and outdated libraries. It's essential to implement a referrer policy, permissions policy, and update vulnerable libraries to enhance overall security.
- 0 high
- 2 medium
- 2 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing Cookie FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies are vulnerable to attacks without HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite flags set.
Fix: Set 'SameSite=Lax; Secure; HttpOnly' on the cookie 'wp_woocommerce_session_711ed9949b1f495acfc87a515e4d95e0'.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 2
Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Outdated jQuery versions can expose the site to cross-site scripting and other attacks.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least version 3.5.0 to address identified vulnerabilities.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 3
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: No HTML page sends a Referrer-Policy, potentially leaking sensitive referral information.
Fix: Add the header 'Referrer-Policy: no-referrer' to all pages.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 4
Software Version DisclosureLow
Why it matters: Revealing server and PHP versions can assist attackers in identifying vulnerabilities.
Fix: Remove or modify 'Server' and 'X-Powered-By' headers to obscure version information.
Evidence: Software version disclosure
- 5
Missing Permissions PolicyInfo
Why it matters: Absence of a Permissions-Policy increases risk of unauthorized feature access for injected scripts.
Fix: Add the header 'Permissions-Policy: --all' to all pages.
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/
