Search Engine Optimization

  • Ensure your website is responsive and provides a good user experience on mobile devices.
  • Optimize images, use browser caching, and minimize server response time to improve loading speed.
  • Secure your website with HTTPS to enhance user trust and gain a ranking boost from search engines.
  • Create and submit an XML sitemap to search engines to help them crawl and index your pages.
  • Use a robots.txt file to guide search engines on which pages to crawl and which to exclude.
  • Set canonical URLs to prevent duplicate content issues and guide search engines to the preferred version of a page.
  • Optimize meta titles and descriptions for each page with relevant keywords and a compelling call to action.
  • Use header tags to structure your content and signal its hierarchy to search engines.
  • Provide descriptive alt text for images to make them accessible to users and search engines.

Performance Testing

  • Google page speed
  • Test your mobile speed with Google
  • WebPagetest - Website Performance and Optimization Test
  • GTmetrix - Website speed and performance optimization

Optimization

  • Optimize images for ensuring your images look flawless on desktop and mobile
  • Minify CSS, JS and HTML

Cross-Site Scripting

  • Start by manually inspecting the website's input fields, URLs, and areas where user-generated content is displayed. Look for places where unvalidated or unsanitized data is being used. Try injecting simple scripts to see if they are executed.
  • Test all input fields (text boxes, text areas, etc.) with various payloads, including:
      <script>alert("XSS");</script>
      <img src=x onerror=alert("XSS")>
    
  • Manipulate URL parameters to see how the application handles them. For example:
    https://example.com/page?parameter=<script>alert("XSS");</script>
    
  • Test how the application handles different HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.) with payloads in request parameters and bodies.
  • Explore how the website handles cookies. Test if you can manipulate cookies and if they are properly secured.

SQL Injection

  • Locate forms, search boxes, and any input fields that send data to the server.
  • Look for URL parameters that are used in database queries.
  • Enter a single quote (') into input fields or URL parameters and observe the response.
  • If an error message or unexpected behavior occurs, it might indicate a potential vulnerability.
  • Enter SQL keywords like SELECT, UNION, AND, OR, and others into input fields.
  • Observe if the application responds in a way that suggests it's interpreting your input as SQL code.
  • Test both numeric and non-numeric inputs to see if the application handles them differently.
