Priority fixes for altalex.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 4 hours, 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.
On Cloudflare: Use Cache Rules to set edge and browser TTLs for static file paths.
60% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · Enable
At most one redirect to the homepage
Observed: The homepage was reached after 5 redirects.
What to do: Point every alternate address (http, www or apex, old paths) straight to the final URL in a single redirect.
>99% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 3 · 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.
On Cloudflare: Enable HTTP/3 (with QUIC) under Speed > Optimization > Protocol Optimization.
36% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
Content Security Policy present
Observed: The homepage response did not include a Content-Security-Policy header.
What to do: Start with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only to see what would break, tighten the policy over a few weeks, then enforce it.
29% of News & Media peers do this.
