Priority fixes for empik.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
HSTS kept for at least a year
Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 30 days, below the one-year benchmark.
Why it matters: HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS for your host on every later visit, which removes the window where a first HTTP request can be intercepted.
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 Cloudflare: Enable HSTS under SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates > HTTP Strict Transport Security and raise max-age gradually.
32% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 3 external scripts without async or defer.
What to do: Add defer to scripts that need the DOM, async to independent ones such as analytics, or move them to the end of the body.
44% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

Priority 3 · 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.
48% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

Priority 4 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Asseco Data Systems S.A. had a 364-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.
What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.
70% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
