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

jQuery Mobile is an open source HTML5-based user interface framework designed to enable responsive web applications across smartphones, tablets, and desktops. The project is maintained under the OpenJS Foundation umbrella, which lends it credibility and organizational support. However, the website prominently states that jQuery Mobile is no longer supported, indicating the project is in maintenance or deprecated status. The target audience primarily consists of web developers seeking legacy mobile UI solutions or interested in the historical framework. The business model is community-driven open source with support from the foundation. Technically, the site is built on WordPress and uses modern web technologies including jQuery 3.7.1, CSS3, and Typesense for search. 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 is well implemented with proper meta tags and canonical links. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration but lacks explicit security headers such as CSP or HSTS. The use of an outdated jQuery Mobile version (1.4.5) may pose security risks if used in production. No privacy or cookie policies are directly present on the site, and no contact information for security incidents is provided, indicating gaps in compliance and incident response readiness. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, reflecting the OpenJS Foundation's stewardship. However, the deprecated status of the product and missing compliance elements suggest moderate risk. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency are recommended to enhance trust 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The jQuery Mobile project operates under the OpenJS Foundation, a reputable non-profit organization supporting JavaScript projects. The project historically held a strong position in mobile web UI frameworks but is now deprecated, reflecting shifts in web development trends. The business model is open source community-driven with no direct revenue streams. The target customers are developers maintaining legacy applications or interested in cross-platform mobile UI frameworks. The ecosystem includes related projects like jQuery, jQuery UI, and QUnit, indicating a broad JavaScript tooling portfolio. Partnerships with hosting and CDN providers like Digital Ocean and Fastly support infrastructure needs. The project’s legacy status suggests limited growth but stable community interest.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery Mobile version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing cookie consent mechanisms and direct privacy policy presence. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Migrate away from deprecated jQuery Mobile framework to supported, actively maintained alternatives to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and establish an incident response process publicly.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to maintain a secure technology stack.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with a tech stack including jQuery 3.7.1, CSS3, and Typesense search integration. Hosting is via Digital Ocean with Fastly CDN, supporting good performance and availability. The site is mobile optimized and uses semantic HTML5 markup. However, the use of an outdated jQuery Mobile version (1.4.5) indicates technical debt and potential security risks. No advanced security headers are detected, and no analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating a privacy-conscious approach but also limited marketing insights. The site’s performance is moderate, with room for optimization in accessibility and SEO. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
