Priority fixes for politicsandwar.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
HSTS kept for at least a year
Observed: The homepage response did not include a Strict-Transport-Security header.
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.
On Cloudflare: Enable HSTS under SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates > HTTP Strict Transport Security and raise max-age gradually.
23% of Puzzles & Video Games peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 6 external scripts without async or defer.
What to do: Add defer to scripts that need the DOM, async to independent ones such as analytics, or move them to the end of the body.
52% of Puzzles & Video Games peers do this.
Guide: Control Third-Party Scripts Before They Control Your Page
Priority 3 · 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.
58% of Puzzles & Video Games peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.politicsandwar.com.
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.
21% of Puzzles & Video Games peers do this.
