Priority fixes for game.co.za

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

1. Priority 1 · Enable

   Meta description written

   Observed: The homepage had no meta description.

   Why it matters: Search engines often use it for the snippet under your link, so a clear description can improve click-through.

   What to do: Write a short, specific description of the page for people, not a list of keywords.

   95% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   HSTS kept for at least a year

   Observed: The homepage response did not include a Strict-Transport-Security header.

   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.

   32% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Enable

   Canonical URL declared

   Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.

   What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.

   85% 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.

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