Why Your Website Is Probably Vulnerable (And How to Fix It in 5 Minutes)

Why Your Website Is Probably Vulnerable (And How to Fix It in 5 Minutes)

I run a free web security scanner. After thousands of scans, here's the uncomfortable truth:

Almost every website has at least 5 security vulnerabilities.

Not because their developers are bad β€” but because most people simply don't know what to check, or assume their hosting provider handles it.

Let me walk you through a real scan result β€” then show you how to check your own site for free in under a minute.


What a Typical Website Looks Like From a Hacker's Perspective

I scanned a random small business site the other day. Here's what it found:

8 vulnerabilities β€” risk score: Critical (38/100)

The issues are almost never what you'd expect:

1. Missing Security Headers (6 issues)

Your web server is supposed to tell browsers how to handle your site safely. Most sites simply... don't. Missing headers mean:

  • Anyone can put your site in an iframe (clickjacking)
  • Browsers can MIME-sniff (drive-by downloads)
  • No XSS protection
  • No policy to block malicious scripts

2. Open Ports You Forgot About

Every web framework opens ports during setup β€” development servers, admin panels, APIs. When you deploy to production, those ports often stay open.

3. CORS Misconfigurations

This is the silent budget-killer. A misconfigured CORS policy lets attackers steal data from your legitimate users while they're logged into your site.


The Good News: You Can Check Your Site in 30 Seconds

No registration. No downloads. Just paste your URL:
