Priority fixes for progressive.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: The DMARC policy for progressive.com was p=none, which asks receivers to take no action on failing mail.
Why it matters: An enforcing DMARC policy helps receiving mail systems reject email that falsely claims to come from your domain, a common route for phishing your customers.
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.
69% of Insurance & Financial Planning peers do this. Limit: Read from public DNS at the time of the check; records may have changed since.
Priority 2 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 300 seconds, short of the 30-day benchmark.
What to do: Give versioned (fingerprinted) CSS, JavaScript, fonts and images Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable, and change the file name whenever the content changes.
51% of Insurance & Financial Planning peers do this.
Priority 3 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 20 images and none used WebP or AVIF.
What to do: Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG or PNG fallback, either through an image CDN or by generating both formats at build time.
43% of Insurance & Financial Planning peers do this.

Priority 4 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 1 external script 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.
43% of Insurance & Financial Planning peers do this.
