Priority fixes for pnp.co.za
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (34 KB) was delivered without gzip, Brotli or zstd compression.
Why it matters: Compression usually shrinks HTML several times over, so the first bytes of the page arrive sooner on slow connections.
What to do: Enable Brotli or gzip for text responses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG) at the CDN or origin.
On Amazon CloudFront: Enable Compress objects automatically on the cache behaviour.
97% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

Priority 2 · Enable
Meta description written
Observed: The homepage had no meta description.
What to do: Write a short, specific description of the page for people, not a list of keywords.
95% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

Priority 3 · 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 Amazon CloudFront: Attach a response headers policy with Strict-Transport-Security to each distribution.
32% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
Canonical URL declared
Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.
What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.
85% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
