Priority fixes for dhgate.com

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

1. Priority 1 · Harden

   HTTP requests move to HTTPS

   Observed: A request to http://www.dhgate.com/ was not redirected to HTTPS.

   Why it matters: Visitors who type the address or follow an old link start on unencrypted HTTP. A redirect moves them to the encrypted site before any cookies or form data are sent.

   What to do: Add a permanent (301 or 308) redirect from every http:// URL to the same https:// URL at your CDN, load balancer or web server.

   96% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Measured for the homepage only, from one location, at the time of the check.

2. Priority 2 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 64 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 Next.js: The next/image component serves optimized formats automatically.

   47% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.dhgate.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.

   39% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Harden

   Framing restricted

   Observed: The homepage did not send frame-ancestors or X-Frame-Options, so other sites may frame it.

   What to do: Send Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' (or a list of trusted origins). X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN covers older browsers.

   On Next.js: Add it in next.config.js headers().

   70% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
