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

jQuery Mobile is an open source HTML5-based user interface framework designed to enable developers to create responsive web applications that work across smartphones, tablets, and desktops. The project is maintained under the OpenJS Foundation umbrella and has a long history dating back to 2009. However, the website clearly states that jQuery Mobile is no longer supported, indicating the project is deprecated and no longer actively maintained. The site provides resources such as source code, documentation, and theming tools for legacy users. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1 and Typesense for search functionality. Hosting is provided by Digital Ocean with CDN services from Fastly, ensuring good performance and availability. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, though accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is also basic with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC and important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices. The overall risk is low given the site’s informational and legacy nature, but the absence of privacy and security policies and lack of contact information reduce trust and compliance levels. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response details to improve transparency and security 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

jQuery Mobile occupies a niche as a legacy open source mobile web framework under the OpenJS Foundation. Its market position is that of a deprecated but historically significant project. The business model is community-driven open source with no direct revenue streams. The target audience is web developers seeking cross-platform mobile UI solutions. The project benefits from the credibility and governance of the OpenJS Foundation, which also manages other JavaScript projects. The ecosystem includes GitHub for source code, forums for discussion, and theming tools to customize UI. Growth indicators are minimal due to deprecation, but the project remains a valuable resource for legacy applications. Partnerships are primarily within the OpenJS Foundation and related JavaScript projects. The website content is professional and consistent with the brand, supporting trust among developers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration protections are in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents gaps in defense-in-depth. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency. The minimal use of analytics and tracking reduces privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears basic but could be enhanced by adopting standard web security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to enhance trust and incident response capabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including WordPress CMS, jQuery 3.7.1, and Typesense for search functionality. Hosting is provided by Digital Ocean with Fastly CDN, supporting good performance and availability. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design principles. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is minimal with no advanced structured data or Open Graph metadata. The site does not use analytics or advertising scripts, indicating a focus on content delivery without tracking. Technical debt is low given the use of current jQuery versions and WordPress 6.8.3, but the deprecated status of jQuery Mobile framework itself suggests limited future development. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance compliance documentation.
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.
