Priority fixes for cgtrader.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 Amazon had a 197-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.
72% of Design & Content Creation peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · 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 Design & Content Creation peers do this.

Priority 3 · Harden
CAA records limit who can issue certificates
Observed: No CAA record was found for cgtrader.com, so any public certificate authority may issue for it.
What to do: Publish CAA records naming every CA you actually use, including the CAs your CDN uses for managed certificates. Add an iodef contact if you want reports.
17% of Design & Content Creation peers do this.
Priority 4 · 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.
9.1% of Design & Content Creation peers do this.
