0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

11ty Rocks! is a specialized web resource site created and maintained by Stephanie Eckles, focusing on Eleventy (11ty), a static site generator. The site offers a rich collection of starters, plugins, tutorials, and community resources aimed at developers and web creators interested in static site generation. It holds a niche position within the web development community, providing high-quality, well-structured content and tools to facilitate Eleventy usage. The business model centers on content provision and community engagement rather than direct commercial transactions. Technically, the site is built using modern web technologies including Eleventy, Nunjucks templating, Sass, and LightningCSS, hosted on Netlify. It demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility. The site uses plausible.io for privacy-focused analytics, indicating a commitment to minimal user tracking. SEO and metadata are well implemented, enhancing discoverability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids collecting sensitive user data, which reduces risk. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and privacy/cookie policies are absent, representing areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to TLD restrictions and privacy protection, but the site’s professional presentation and active content updates indicate legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, 11ty Rocks! is a high-quality, trustworthy resource for Eleventy users with strong technical foundations and good security hygiene, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security headers to further strengthen its posture.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The site targets a specialized segment of web developers using Eleventy, providing them with practical tools, tutorials, and plugins. Its competitive advantage lies in the depth and quality of content curated by a recognized author in the community. The business model is content-driven, likely supported by community goodwill and indirect monetization such as sponsorships or donations (e.g., Buy Me A Coffee link). The partnership ecosystem includes links to GitHub, Netlify, and other developer tools, reinforcing its integration within the web development ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates and a YouTube channel. The site operates as a small-scale, personal project with a strong community focus.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to high given the use of HTTPS, minimal data collection, and privacy-respecting analytics. The absence of explicit security headers and privacy policies are gaps that could expose the site to certain risks such as clickjacking or content injection. There is no evidence of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, which limits transparency. Compliance with GDPR or other regulations is not explicitly addressed, which could be a concern for European visitors. Overall, the site maintains a low-risk profile but should enhance transparency and security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information or a security contact channel for incident reporting and vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern static site generator (Eleventy) with a clean, modular architecture using Nunjucks templates and Sass for styling. Hosting on Netlify ensures reliable performance and scalability. The use of plausible.io analytics aligns with privacy best practices. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility standards, with good SEO metadata. There is no CMS detected, consistent with a static site approach. Technical debt appears low, and the site is actively maintained. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation to reduce operational risks.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
