66/ 100Needs work

On September 13, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4999 pages and 1002 assets of www.zippia.com, starting from https://www.zippia.com/. It scored 66 out of 100, a result that needs work. 11 of 27 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (4,433), title tags (3,127), heavy assets (236); 7 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−7.1), title tags (−6.3), heavy assets (−6). 9 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 10 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.

    How: Update internal links pointing to broken URLs with correct paths.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Resolve Non-200 Responses

    Checks: status-codes

  3. 3

Security review

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

Our security review of zippia.com identified several issues that could expose the site to vulnerabilities, primarily due to missing critical security headers and the presence of outdated libraries. Immediate action is recommended to improve protection against attacks.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Absence of a Content Security Policy allows any scripts and resources to be loaded from anywhere, heightening the risk of XSS attacks.

    Fix: Implement a CSP header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-OptionsMedium

    Why it matters: Without X-Frame-Options, the site is vulnerable to clickjacking, where an attacker can embed the site in a malicious frame.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: Outdated jQuery and Bootstrap versions contain known vulnerabilities that could be exploited depending on usage.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery to at least version 3.5.0 and Bootstrap to at least version 4.3.1.

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  4. 4

    Missing X-Content-Type-OptionsLow

    Why it matters: Lack of this header can lead to MIME-sniffing attacks, where the browser may execute non-script content as scripts.

    Fix: Include the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  5. 5

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Loading resources over HTTP on HTTPS pages can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.

    Fix: Ensure all resources are loaded using HTTPS.

    Evidence: Mixed content

  6. 6

    Third-Party Scripts Without SRILow

    Why it matters: Using scripts from external domains without Subresource Integrity can lead to unauthorized script alterations if those services are compromised.

    Fix: Add Subresource Integrity attributes to scripts or configure a Content-Security-Policy.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts

  7. 7

    Sensitive Paths in robots.txtInfo

    Why it matters: Exposing sensitive paths in robots.txt can reveal potential attack vectors.

    Fix: Remove or secure the listed paths. Implement access controls.

    Evidence: Sensitive paths in robots.txt

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 4997 HTML pages send a Content-Security-Policy header or meta tag, so the browser has no restriction on where scripts, styles and frames may load from.
