66/ 100Needs work

On October 2, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4997 pages and 1001 assets of www.zippia.com, starting from https://www.zippia.com/. It scored 66 out of 100, a result that needs work. 11 of 16 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (4,430), title tags (3,121), heavy assets (235); 3 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−7.1), title tags (−6.2), heavy assets (−6). 2 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 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.

Fix plan

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

Several significant SEO issues need attention to improve site health, particularly regarding broken links, title and meta description issues, and non-200 responses. Prioritizing fixes will enhance user experience and indexability.

  1. 1

    Fix Broken Links

    How: Update links to correct URLs or remove them. Review links on related pages.

    Checks: broken-links

  2. 2

    Resolve Non-200 Responses

    Why: Non-200 responses can negatively affect crawlability and user access.

    How: Investigate the URLs and change them to return a proper 200 status or remove them.

    Checks: status-codes

  3. 3

    Update Title Tags

    Why: Over 3100 pages have title issues—this affects visibility in search results.

    How: Create unique, descriptive titles for affected pages following best practices.

    Checks: titles

  4. 4

    Enhance Meta Descriptions

    Why: Most pages lack optimized meta descriptions, impacting click-through rates.

    How: Write compelling meta descriptions for all pages missing them, ensuring they are unique.

    Checks: meta-descriptions

Security review

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

Your website has several security vulnerabilities that need addressing, particularly in content security and cookie protection. Missing headers like Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options leave your site open to attacks such as clickjacking and script injection. Vulnerable JavaScript libraries also pose a significant risk. Review these findings to enhance your site's security.

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

    Missing Content Security PolicyMedium

    Why it matters: Lack of a CSP leaves your site vulnerable to script injections and data theft.

    Fix: Implement a Content-Security-Policy header, such as: `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';`.

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  2. 2

    Missing X-Frame-OptionsMedium

    Why it matters: Without this header, your site is susceptible to clickjacking attacks.

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

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  3. 3

    Missing Secure Cookie FlagsMedium

    Why it matters: Missing flags can allow unauthorized access to cookies via scripts.

    Fix: Set cookies with `Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict` flags.

    Evidence: Cookie flags

  4. 4

    Vulnerable JavaScript LibrariesMedium

    Why it matters: Using outdated libraries increases the risk of exploitation through known vulnerabilities.

    Fix: Upgrade jQuery and Bootstrap to their latest stable versions (at least jQuery 3.5.0 and Bootstrap 4.3.1).

    Evidence: Vulnerable JavaScript libraries

  5. 5

    Missing X-Content-Type-OptionsLow

    Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may incorrectly interpret files as executable scripts.

    Fix: Add the X-Content-Type-Options header: `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`.

    Evidence: MIME sniffing protection

  6. 6

    Missing Referrer PolicyLow

    Why it matters: Lack of a referrer policy can expose sensitive information through HTTP referer headers.

    Fix: Include a Referrer-Policy header: `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`.

    Evidence: Referrer policy

  7. 7

    Mixed Content IssuesLow

    Why it matters: Loading resources over insecure HTTP can lead to data interception.

    Fix: Ensure all resources are loaded over HTTPS URLs.

    Evidence: Mixed content

  8. 8

    Missing Permissions PolicyInfo

    Why it matters: This policy limits the use of browser features by the site, which could be exploited by scripts.

    Fix: Add a Permissions-Policy header: `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self)` (or adjust based on requirements).

    Evidence: Permissions policy

What the checks found

  • FoundContent Security PolicyMedium

    None of the 4995 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.
