Priority fixes for pressreader.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
Canonical URL declared
Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.
Why it matters: A canonical link tells search engines which URL to show when the same page is reachable at several addresses.
What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.
80% of Online Publishing peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.
Priority 2 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: The DMARC policy for pressreader.com 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.
20% of Online Publishing peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
Social preview image set
Observed: The homepage had no og:image, so shared links may show without a preview image.
What to do: Add Open Graph tags, including og:image with a 1200 x 630 image.
67% of Online Publishing peers do this.
Priority 4 · 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.
On Cloudflare: Add the header with a response header transform rule.
37% of Online Publishing peers do this.
