Priority fixes for scielo.br

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

1. Priority 1 · Harden

   HTTP requests move to HTTPS

   Observed: A request to http://www.scielo.br/ was not redirected to HTTPS.

   Why it matters: Visitors who type the address or follow an old link start on unencrypted HTTP. A redirect moves them to the encrypted site before any cookies or form data are sent.

   What to do: Add a permanent (301 or 308) redirect from every http:// URL to the same https:// URL at your CDN, load balancer or web server.

   On WordPress: Set both WordPress Address and Site Address to https:// in Settings > General, then add the server or CDN redirect.

   89% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this. Limit: Measured for the homepage only, from one location, at the time of the check.

2. Priority 2 · Enable

   XML sitemap discoverable

   Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.

   What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.

   On WordPress: WordPress has generated a basic sitemap at /wp-sitemap.xml since 5.5; SEO plugins can replace it.

   69% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Static files cached for 30 days or more

   Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 1 hours, short of the 30-day benchmark.

   On WordPress: Caching plugins or your host can set long browser cache lifetimes for theme and plugin assets.
