Priority fixes for federal.tv
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
HTTP requests move to HTTPS
Observed: A request to http://federal.tv/ 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.
On Cloudflare: Turn on Always Use HTTPS under SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates.
89% of Live Streaming peers do this. Limit: Measured for the homepage only, from one location, at the time of the check.
Priority 2 · Harden
TLS 1.3 negotiated
Observed: The TLS connection negotiated TLSv1.2.
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.
On Cloudflare: Turn on TLS 1.3 under SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates.
94% of Live Streaming peers do this.
Priority 3 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 1 days, short of the 30-day benchmark.
What to do: Give versioned (fingerprinted) CSS, JavaScript, fonts and images Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable, and change the file name whenever the content changes.
On Cloudflare: Use Cache Rules to set edge and browser TTLs for static file paths.
48% of Live Streaming peers do this.
Priority 4 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 52 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 Cloudflare: Cloudflare Polish can convert images to WebP.
47% of Live Streaming peers do this.
