Priority fixes for cnbctv18.com

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

1. Priority 1 · Accelerate

   HTTP/2 negotiated

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

   Why it matters: HTTP/2 sends many files over one connection, which speeds up pages with lots of images, styles and scripts.

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

   94% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   HSTS kept for at least a year

   Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 1 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 Next.js: Add the header in the headers() option of next.config.js for all routes.

   35% of News & Media peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 83 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 WordPress: WordPress has supported WebP uploads since 5.8 and AVIF since 6.5; image plugins or the host can convert existing images.

   44% of News & Media peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.cnbctv18.com.

   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.

   37% of News & Media peers do this.
