Priority fixes for mediapart.fr
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTTP/3 advertised
Observed: The homepage did not advertise HTTP/3 through an Alt-Svc header.
Why it matters: HTTP/3 runs over QUIC, which copes better with lossy mobile networks and recovers faster when a connection changes.
What to do: Turn on HTTP/3 at your CDN. Browsers fall back to HTTP/2 automatically, so the risk is low.
On Cloudflare: Enable HTTP/3 (with QUIC) under Speed > Optimization > Protocol Optimization.
36% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · 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.
29% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 3 · Harden
security.txt published
Observed: No valid /.well-known/security.txt with a Contact field was returned.
What to do: Publish /.well-known/security.txt with at least Contact and Expires fields, as RFC 9116 requires, and review it before it expires.
On Cloudflare: Cloudflare Security Center can serve a security.txt file for the zone.
6.2% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
Reachable over IPv6
Observed: No IPv6 (AAAA) address was published for www.mediapart.fr.
What to do: Enable IPv6 at your CDN or host and publish the AAAA record it provides.
On Cloudflare: Cloudflare offers IPv6 compatibility for proxied hostnames; check the setting in Network.
51% of News & Media peers do this.
