On November 1, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 2934 pages and 1023 assets of www.whalencpa.com, starting from https://www.whalencpa.com/. It scored 79 out of 100, a good result. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by heavy assets (275), meta descriptions (1,929), headings (2,417); 6 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), meta descriptions (−5.3), headings (−5). 14 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 crawlYour website has several security issues that need immediate attention, including missing headers that protect against various attacks and security risks related to cookie management. Addressing these will significantly improve your site's security posture.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 5 low
- 0 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors can be intercepted if they enter your site without HTTPS.
Fix: Implement HSTS by adding: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium
Why it matters: Lack of CSP allows unrestricted loading of scripts, making it vulnerable to XSS attacks.
Fix: Implement a CSP header, e.g., Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' www.example.com;
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 3
Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, your pages can be embedded in other sites, risking clickjacking.
Fix: Add X-Frame-Options: DENY to your responses.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 4
Cookies Missing Protective FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Many cookies lack Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags, exposing them to potential attacks.
Fix: Set cookies with: Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite=strict attributes.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 5
Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow
Why it matters: Without X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, browsers may incorrectly execute scripts.
Fix: Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to your responses.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 6
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: Without a Referrer-Policy, sensitive information could be leaked to other sites.
Fix: Add Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade to your responses.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Resources loaded over HTTP on secure pages can expose users to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Fix: Update resource links to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 8
Software Version DisclosureLow
Why it matters: Exposure of the framework may provide attackers insights into vulnerabilities.
Fix: Hide X-Powered-By: [your software] or remove it entirely.
Evidence: Software version disclosure
- 9
Third-Party Scripts Without IntegrityLow
Why it matters: Scripts from other domains without Subresource Integrity can be compromised.
Fix: Implement a robust CSP that restricts these scripts or use Subresource Integrity where possible.
Evidence: Third-party scripts
