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

The website www.xiangha.com is a well-established Chinese online platform specializing in food recipes, cooking tutorials, and a vibrant community for food enthusiasts. It offers a rich database of recipes with images and videos, fostering user engagement through content sharing and social features. The platform positions itself as one of the largest culinary communities in China, targeting general audiences interested in cooking and food culture. Technically, the site employs a mix of popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Video.js, along with Baidu Analytics and Tencent advertising SDKs, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. However, accessibility features appear basic and could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers, which could expose it to certain web-based attacks. There is no cookie consent mechanism, which may impact privacy compliance, especially under regulations like GDPR. The absence of WHOIS data transparency reduces trust slightly but is likely due to privacy protection. No critical vulnerabilities or adult content were detected, and the site maintains a safe content rating. Overall, www.xiangha.com is a credible and professional platform with solid business presence and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and transparency would enhance its trustworthiness and regulatory adherence.

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 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

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

Xiangha.com operates in the online food and recipe sector, leveraging user-generated content and community engagement as its core business model. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive recipe database, multimedia content, and active user base. Revenue streams likely include advertising and possibly premium content or app downloads. The target customers are general consumers interested in cooking, ranging from novices to enthusiasts. The platform shows signs of large scale operation with consistent content updates and a strong brand presence in China. Partnerships with advertising networks like Tencent GDT and analytics providers like Baidu indicate a mature marketing ecosystem. The lack of explicit company registration details suggests a focus on content and community rather than direct e-commerce or regulated financial services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is fundamental. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap that could expose users to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and cross-site scripting risks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the provided content. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and detailed incident response policies. The site does not publish security or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency. Overall, while no critical security flaws are evident, there is room for improvement to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to reflect GDPR and other privacy regulations for improved compliance.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response contacts to enhance transparency and user trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Increase WHOIS transparency or provide verified company information on the website to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a traditional web stack with jQuery and Video.js for interactive and multimedia content delivery. It integrates Baidu Analytics for user tracking and Tencent GDT for advertising, indicating reliance on major Chinese internet service providers. The use of HLS.js suggests support for streaming video content. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources from a CDN domain (jiaonizuocai.com), which likely supports performance and scalability. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible in accessibility and mobile responsiveness. No modern frameworks like React or Angular were detected, indicating a classic web architecture. The absence of CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary content management solution.
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.
