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

The website www.website-performance.org is a specialized online utility offering free website speed testing and related web development tools. It targets web developers, SEO professionals, and website owners seeking to analyze and improve their website performance. The site is branded under Dan's Tools and provides a suite of helpful utilities such as CSS sprite generation and code minification. The business model appears to be free access with optional account registration for premium features, supported by advertising revenue. Technically, the site uses a Bootstrap framework with jQuery and Font Awesome, hosted with Amazon Cloudfront CDN, and integrates Google Analytics and Adsense for tracking and monetization. The design is professional and user-friendly, though mobile optimization is basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces trust but is common for small utility sites. Overall, the site is safe, reliable, and serves a niche market effectively.

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

7 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"

    • 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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 website operates in the technology sector, focusing on web performance testing tools. It holds a niche position providing free, browser-based speed tests and performance insights. The business leverages advertising networks such as Google Adsense and Ezoic for revenue. Its partnership ecosystem includes related web development tool domains under Dan's Tools umbrella. The target customers are web developers and site owners interested in optimizing website speed and SEO. The site shows consistent branding and good content quality, though lacks direct contact information and detailed company disclosures. Growth potential exists through premium features and expanded tool offerings. The absence of WHOIS transparency is a minor concern but typical for small online utilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture. HTTPS usage is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. No security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended best practices. The site does not expose sensitive data or credentials in forms, and input fields appear secure. However, the lack of cookie consent mechanisms despite Google Analytics tracking indicates partial GDPR compliance gaps. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response information is provided. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security headers, explicit HTTPS enforcement, and improved privacy compliance to strengthen its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy controls to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Verify and enforce HTTPS across all pages to ensure secure data transmission.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to reduce vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Bootstrap 3.4.1 framework with jQuery 2.2.4 and Font Awesome 4.0.3, indicating a somewhat dated but stable technology stack. Hosting utilizes Amazon Cloudfront CDN for content delivery. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO basics are covered with meta tags and Google site verification. The site uses Google Analytics and Adsense for tracking and monetization, but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. The site structure is clear with multiple related tools and a consistent navigation menu. Technical debt is moderate due to older libraries and missing security headers. Modernization opportunities include updating libraries, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing security configurations.
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.
