Priority fixes for ai-novel.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 14 days, short of the 30-day benchmark.
Why it matters: Returning visitors and later page views reuse cached files instead of downloading them again.
What to do: Give versioned (fingerprinted) CSS, JavaScript, fonts and images Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable, and change the file name whenever the content changes.
79% of Generative AI Chatbots & Assistants peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · Enable
robots.txt published
Observed: No robots.txt file was returned at the site root.
What to do: Publish /robots.txt with any crawl rules you need and a Sitemap: line pointing to your XML sitemap.
93% of Generative AI Chatbots & Assistants peers do this.

Priority 3 · Harden
HSTS kept for at least a year
Observed: The homepage response did not include a Strict-Transport-Security header.
What to do: Send Strict-Transport-Security on HTTPS responses. Start with a short max-age (for example 300 seconds), confirm every subdomain works over HTTPS, then raise it in steps to 31536000. Add includeSubDomains only when all subdomains are HTTPS. HSTS preload is optional and hard to undo; hstspreload.org itself does not recommend it by default.
46% of Generative AI Chatbots & Assistants peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
Canonical URL declared
Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.
What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.
84% of Generative AI Chatbots & Assistants peers do this.
