Priority fixes for nrk.no

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

1. Priority 1 · 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.

   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.

   35% of News & Media 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 nrk.no 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.

   37% of News & Media peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Offscreen images lazy-loaded

   Observed: The homepage had 96 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.

   72% of News & Media peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Enable

   Structured data present

   Observed: The homepage had no JSON-LD structured data.

   What to do: Add JSON-LD for your organization and main content types, then test it with Google's Rich Results Test.

   76% of News & Media peers do this.
