Priority fixes for idiskitimes.co.za

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

1. Priority 1 · Harden

   HSTS kept for at least a year

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

   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.

   27% of Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: The DMARC policy for idiskitimes.co.za 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.

   32% of Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Offscreen images lazy-loaded

   Observed: The homepage had 83 images and none used loading="lazy".

   What to do: Add loading="lazy" to images below the fold. Do not lazy-load the main hero image, because that delays the largest visible element.

   On WordPress: WordPress has added loading="lazy" to images by default since 5.5; check that your theme or a plugin has not removed it.

   56% of Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Enable

   Social preview image set

   What to do: Add Open Graph tags, including og:image with a 1200 x 630 image.

   69% of Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this.
