Fix plan
Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findingsWritten from an earlier version of the analysis (rules v4). The findings on this page have been recomputed since, so counts and labels here may differ from what the plan describes. The advice still points at the same checks.
The website has several issues including broken links, redirects, and problems with title tags and meta descriptions. Addressing these will improve SEO performance significantly.

Fix Broken Links
Why: Broken links hinder user experience and can negatively affect SEO.
How: Identify and remove or update the broken links to point to valid pages.
Checks: broken-links
- 2
Resolve Redirects
Why: High redirect counts can slow down site performance and confuse users.
How: Review and eliminate unnecessary redirects, especially for assets and pages.
Checks: redirects
- 3
Update Title Tags
Why: Improving title tags enhances search visibility and relevance.
How: Create unique titles under 60 characters for duplicated pages.
Evidence: 2 pages share the title "About Us | Learn More About Affordable Home Furnishings", which usually means one template writes it for all of them.
2 pages affected
Depends on: If these pages really are the same content, the duplicate title is a symptom: canonicalise them to one URL instead.
Checks: titles
- 4
Enhance Meta Descriptions
Why: Meta descriptions significantly impact click-through rates from search results.
How: Develop unique meta descriptions that accurately reflect page content.
Evidence: 9 pages have no meta description at all.
9 pages affected
Checks: meta-descriptions
- 5
Improve Sitemap Coverage

Evidence: 188 URLs: not in sitemap.
188 pages affected
Checks: sitemap-coverage

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlThe site has several security issues that need addressing, including lack of HTTP Strict Transport Security and Content Security Policy headers, which expose users to risks. Additionally, vulnerable JavaScript libraries and missing cookie protections are present, and sensitive API keys should be secured. Fixing these issues is crucial to enhance site security.
- 0 high
- 6 medium
- 3 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, users can be intercepted when accessing the site over non-HTTPS.
Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium
Why it matters: Absence of CSP allows unregulated script and resource loading, increasing XSS risks.
Fix: Add the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 3
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: Lack of framing protection can allow clickjacking attacks.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 4
Missing Cookie FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without HttpOnly or Secure flags can be exploited by scripts.
Fix: Set the cookie flags: HttpOnly and Secure for XSRF-TOKEN.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 5
Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium
Why it matters: Outdated libraries may have known vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
Fix: Upgrade jQuery to 3.5.0 and Bootstrap to 3.4.1.
Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries
- 6
Leaked Google API KeyMedium
Why it matters: An exposed API key can lead to unauthorized access or usage charges.
Fix: Restrict the API key in the Google Cloud console by HTTP referrer.
Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code
- 7
Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow
Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may execute files based on content instead of type.
Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 8
Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow
Why it matters: Lack of referrer policy may leak sensitive URL data to other sites.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 9
Leaking Server InformationLow
Why it matters: Revealed server versions can help attackers identify vulnerabilities.
Fix: Remove or obfuscate server and framework version in HTTP headers.
Evidence: Software version disclosure
- 10
Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo
Why it matters: Absence of Permissions-Policy exposes potential browser feature misuse by injected scripts.
Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: fullscreen=(self).
Evidence: Permissions policy

- x-powered-by: PHP/8.3.8 (874 responses)

- XSRF-TOKEN (set by https://www.theaffordableway.com/) lacks HttpOnly
- FoundVulnerable JavaScript librariesMedium
2 libraries with published vulnerabilities: jQuery 1.11.3, Bootstrap 3.3.7. Whether they are exploitable depends on how the site uses them, but each has a fixed release.
- jQuery 1.11.3 in https://www.theaffordableway.com/themes/affordable-home/js/tools/jquery-1.11.3.…: 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

- FoundKeys and secrets in page codeMedium
1 credential-like value found in code served to every visitor: Google API key.
- Google API key AIzaSy…Is (39 chars) in https://www.theaffordableway.com/locations: browser keys are expected in pages, but must be restricted by HTTP referrer and API in the Google Cloud console
- 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.)
- js.adsrvr.org (40 script tags)
- cdn.jsdelivr.net (40 script tags)
- unpkg.com (37 script tags)
- cdnjs.cloudflare.com (3 script tags)
- maps.google.com (1 script tag)
- NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt
robots.txt lists 2 paths 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: /*?test=*
- Disallow: /admin/*
4 checks passed
- OKHTTPS
All 451 crawled pages were served over HTTPS.
- OKMixed content
No HTTPS page loads a script, stylesheet, font or image over plain HTTP.
- OKForms over HTTPS
191 forms found, all on HTTPS pages posting to HTTPS addresses.
- OKExposed files and listings
None of the crawled URLs is a configuration file, backup, dump, repository folder or directory listing.
A passive review of what the crawl recorded: response headers, page and script contents and the URLs it found. It does not probe the site, test TLS settings or look for files that were not linked. Generated automatically; verify each finding against your own site before acting on it.
