Priority fixes for caf.fr

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

1. Priority 1 · Accelerate

   HTML compressed

   Observed: The homepage HTML (14 KB) was delivered without gzip, Brotli or zstd compression.

   Why it matters: Compression usually shrinks HTML several times over, so the first bytes of the page arrive sooner on slow connections.

   What to do: Enable Brotli or gzip for text responses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG) at the CDN or origin.

   74% of Government Services peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

2. Priority 2 · Accelerate

   HTTP/2 negotiated

   Observed: The TLS handshake selected http/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.

   What to do: Enable HTTP/2 on your CDN or server. Most CDNs do this by default.

   55% of Government Services peers do this.

3. 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.

   51% of Government Services peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · 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.

   61% of Government Services peers do this.
