Priority fixes for piraeusbank.gr

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

1. 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.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   HSTS kept for at least a year

   Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 0 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.

   On Azure Front Door/CDN: Add a response header action in a Front Door rule set.

   62% of Banking & Finance peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Harden

   Framing restricted

   Observed: The homepage did not send frame-ancestors or X-Frame-Options, so other sites may frame it.

   What to do: Send Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' (or a list of trusted origins). X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN covers older browsers.

   69% of Banking & Finance peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Accelerate

   Offscreen images lazy-loaded

   Observed: The homepage had 42 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.

   56% of Banking & Finance peers do this.
