Priority fixes for euronews.com

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

Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (477 KB) was delivered without gzip, Brotli or zstd compression.
Why it matters: Compression usually shrinks HTML several times over, so the first bytes of the page arrive sooner on slow connections.
What to do: Enable Brotli or gzip for text responses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG) at the CDN or origin.
97% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 178 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.

Priority 3 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: The DMARC policy for euronews.com was p=none, which asks receivers to take no action on failing mail.
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.

Priority 4 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from GlobalSign nv-sa had a 199-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.
66% of News & Media peers do this.
