Weebly Website Audit

Weebly audit: Square's hosted builder, same limits

· Configuration notes, not a newsroom.

Weebly fingerprints from their runtime strings. SiteRune will not pretend there is an .htaccess. Proxy for headers; publish real text.

What SiteRune checks on this stack

  • CMS / framework fingerprint from HTML, headers, cookies, and generator tags — fingerprint-based, not a plugin inventory
  • Titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, H1, and robots on the homepage and walked interiors
  • Security headers a crawler can see: HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, framing, nosniff, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy
  • HTML TTFB, compression, and Cache-Control on the document — not a Lighthouse filmstrip
  • AI-bot robots policy, llms.txt, and Organization / FAQ / Article JSON-LD

Common problems

  • Marketing homepage looks finished; interior templates ship empty titles or leftover noindex
  • Hosted CMS cannot set HSTS/CSP, so the brief tells you to put a proxy in front instead of inventing an admin UI
  • A security plugin's 'block AI' preset Disallows GPTBot on a site that wanted citations
  • Session cookies or no-store on every anonymous GET, so the CDN never caches HTML

Hosted builder rules apply

Missing security headers → CDN in front. Thin HTML → put words in the page, not only in an image. Robots and llms.txt if the host lets you upload them; otherwise a reverse proxy that can serve files.

What we will not do

We will not recommend migrating to WordPress as a SiteRune finding. If you stay on Weebly, the brief is the configuration you can still change. If you cannot change it, the finding stays until a proxy does.

FAQ

How do you know this is my stack?

Fingerprints in HTML, headers, cookies, and generator tags. Confidence is a score, not a certificate. Unknown stacks stay generic — we will not invent a CMS.

Do I need an account?
