Fix plan

Written by gpt-4o-mini from the scan findings

Written from an earlier version of the analysis. 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.

Your site has several significant issues impacting SEO. Focus on fixing broken links, redirects, and improving title tags and meta descriptions for better visibility and user experience.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    Why: 30 URLs are broken, hurting user experience and SEO.

    How: Identify broken URLs and either remove links or redirect them to the correct pages.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Reduce Redirects

    Why: 1156 redirects may slow down your site and 8 are chained, which is inefficient.

    How: Update internal links to point directly to the final destination, removing unnecessary redirects.

    Checks: redirects

  3. 3

    Resolve Non-200 Responses

    Why: 1201 URLs returning errors affect crawlability.

    How: Fix or redirect URLs to ensure they return a 2xx status code.

    Checks: status-codes

  4. 4

    Improve Title Tags

    Why: 950 pages have title issues, impacting click-through rates.

    How: Create unique and descriptive title tags for each page, staying within optimal length (50-60 characters).

    Checks: titles

  5. 5

    Enhance Meta Descriptions

    Why: 1177 pages lack meta descriptions, reducing visibility in search results.

    How: Write unique, engaging meta descriptions for each page to encourage clicks (155-160 characters).

    Checks: meta-descriptions

  6. 6

    Create Sitemap

    Why: No sitemap found, which can hinder search engine indexing.

    How: Create an XML sitemap and ensure it's listed in your robots.txt file.

    Checks: sitemap-coverage

Security review

Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawl

The website has several security issues that need addressing, including missing HSTS and Content Security Policy headers, vulnerabilities in JavaScript libraries, and inadequate cookie protections. Implementing these fixes will enhance the overall security of the site.

  • 0 high
  • 4 medium
  • 1 low
  • 1 info
  1. 1

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors can be intercepted when accessing the site via HTTP.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: Without a CSP, the site is vulnerable to XSS attacks by allowing scripts from any source.

    Fix: Add the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Insecure Cookie FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Cookies are vulnerable due to missing HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite flags, which can be exploited.

    Fix: Set cookies with the flags: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Strict.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: The site uses outdated libraries that are known to have vulnerabilities, which could be exploited.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least 3.5.0 and Bootstrap to at least 3.4.1.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Some resources are loaded over HTTP, potentially exposing users to man-in-the-middle attacks.

    Fix: Update resource URLs to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.

    Evidence: Mixed content

  6. 6

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: The lack of a Permissions-Policy header may expose unnecessary browser features to potential threats.

    Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self), microphone=(), camera=();.

    Evidence: Permissions policy
