Priority fixes for courrierinternational.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
TLS 1.3 negotiated
Observed: The TLS connection negotiated TLSv1.2.
Why it matters: TLS 1.3 removes legacy cipher suites and completes the handshake in fewer round trips, so it is both safer and faster for new connections.
What to do: Enable TLS 1.3 on your CDN or server. Keep TLS 1.2 available for older clients unless you have checked your audience.
93% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · 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.
87% of News & Media peers do this.
Guide: XML Sitemap Guide: Include Only URLs You Stand Behind
Priority 3 · Harden
HSTS kept for at least a year
Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 0 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 Fastly: Add the header in VCL or a header rule as described in Fastly's HSTS guide.
35% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 4 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 88 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.
44% of News & Media peers do this.
Guide: AVIF, WebP, JPEG, and PNG: Choose the Right Image Format
