Priority fixes for actualno.com

Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.

Priority 1 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Sectigo Limited had a 395-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.
Why it matters: Under CA/Browser Forum Ballot SC-081v3, the maximum lifetime of public TLS certificates fell to 200 days on 15 March 2026 and falls to 100 days on 15 March 2027 and 47 days on 15 March 2029. Sites that renew by hand will need to renew far more often.
What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.
66% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
HTTP/3 advertised
Observed: The homepage did not advertise HTTP/3 through an Alt-Svc header.
What to do: Turn on HTTP/3 at your CDN. Browsers fall back to HTTP/2 automatically, so the risk is low.
36% of News & Media peers do this.
Guide: CDN Guide for Website Owners
Priority 3 · Harden
security.txt published
Observed: No valid /.well-known/security.txt with a Contact field was returned.
What to do: Publish /.well-known/security.txt with at least Contact and Expires fields, as RFC 9116 requires, and review it before it expires.
6.2% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 4 · Enable
Reachable over IPv6
Observed: No IPv6 (AAAA) address was published for www.actualno.com.
What to do: Enable IPv6 at your CDN or host and publish the AAAA record it provides.
51% of News & Media peers do this.
