On November 2, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 2816 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 (274), meta descriptions (1,807), headings (2,294); 6 checks passed. Most of the points went to heavy assets (−6), meta descriptions (−5.2), 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 crawlThe site lacks several important security headers, exposing it to potential attacks through unprotected content, cookies, and insufficient transport security. These issues need immediate attention to enhance visitors' security.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 3 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, users typing your web address without HTTPS could be intercepted.
Fix: Add 'Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload' to your HTTP response headers.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium
Why it matters: Absence of CSP allows scripts and styles from any source, increasing risk of cross-site scripting attacks.
Fix: Add 'Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';' to your HTTP response headers.
Evidence: Content Security Policy
- 3
Missing Clickjacking ProtectionMedium
Why it matters: Lack of X-Frame-Options allows your pages to be embedded in frames on other sites.
Fix: Add 'X-Frame-Options: DENY' to your HTTP response headers.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 4
Missing Cookie FlagsMedium
Why it matters: 18 of your cookies are missing attributes that protect them from being accessed via scripts.
Fix: Set cookies with 'Secure', 'HttpOnly', and 'SameSite=Lax' attributes.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 5
Missing MIME Sniffing ProtectionLow
Why it matters: Without X-Content-Type-Options, browsers might mistakenly execute files as scripts.
Fix: Add 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' to your HTTP response headers.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 6
Missing Referrer PolicyLow
Why it matters: The lack of a referrer policy exposes full page URLs in referrals.
Fix: Add 'Referrer-Policy: no-referrer' to your HTTP response headers.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Loading some resources over HTTP can compromise site security.
Fix: Change all HTTP resource URLs to HTTPS.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 8
Missing Permissions PolicyInfo
Why it matters: Without a permissions policy, browser features could be exploited by injected scripts.
Fix: Add 'Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()' to your HTTP response headers.
Evidence: Permissions policy
