Priority fixes for nickel.eu
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTTP/2 negotiated
Observed: The TLS handshake selected http/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.
Why it matters: HTTP/2 sends many files over one connection, which speeds up pages with lots of images, styles and scripts.
What to do: Enable HTTP/2 on your CDN or server. Most CDNs do this by default.
73% of Banking & Finance peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · Harden
HSTS kept for at least a year
Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 183 days, below the one-year benchmark.
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.
62% of Banking & Finance peers do this.
Priority 3 · 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.
On Drupal: The Security Kit module includes CSP settings.
51% of Banking & Finance peers do this.

Priority 4 · Enable
Social preview image set
Observed: The homepage had no og:image, so shared links may show without a preview image.
What to do: Add Open Graph tags, including og:image with a 1200 x 630 image.
59% of Banking & Finance peers do this.
