Priority fixes for nikkansports.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
Mobile viewport configured
Observed: The homepage had no viewport meta tag, so phones may render it zoomed out.
Why it matters: Without it, phones render the page at desktop width and shrink it, which makes text tiny and hard to use.
What to do: Add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> and check the layout on small screens.
98% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.
Priority 2 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
87% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 3 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 120 seconds, 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.
60% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 4 · 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.
On Amazon CloudFront: Attach a response headers policy with Strict-Transport-Security to each distribution.
35% of News & Media peers do this.
