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

1. Priority 1 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.businesslist.com.ng.

   Why it matters: An enforcing DMARC policy helps receiving mail systems reject email that falsely claims to come from your domain, a common route for phishing your customers.

   What to do: Publish DMARC with p=none and a reporting address first, fix any legitimate senders that fail SPF or DKIM alignment, then move to quarantine and finally reject.

   51% of Search Engines peers do this. Limit: Read from public DNS at the time of the check; records may have changed since.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   HSTS kept for at least a year

   Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 30 days, below the one-year benchmark.

   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.

   On Cloudflare: Enable HSTS under SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates > HTTP Strict Transport Security and raise max-age gradually.

   30% of Search Engines peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Enable

   XML sitemap discoverable

   Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.

   What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.

   60% of Search Engines peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 13 images and none used WebP or AVIF.

   What to do: Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG or PNG fallback, either through an image CDN or by generating both formats at build time.

   On Cloudflare: Cloudflare Polish can convert images to WebP.

   31% of Search Engines peers do this.
