Priority fixes for simply.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Sectigo Limited had a 198-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.
Why it matters: Under CA/Browser Forum Ballot SC-081v3, the maximum lifetime of public TLS certificates fell to 200 days on 15 March 2026 and falls to 100 days on 15 March 2027 and 47 days on 15 March 2029. Sites that renew by hand will need to renew far more often.
What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.
74% of Web & Cloud Hosting peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · Harden
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Observed: The homepage response did not include X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
What to do: Send X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on all responses and make sure each file is served with the correct Content-Type.
39% of Web & Cloud Hosting peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
Reachable over IPv6
Observed: No IPv6 (AAAA) address was published for www.simply.com.
What to do: Enable IPv6 at your CDN or host and publish the AAAA record it provides.
48% of Web & Cloud Hosting peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
Referrer-Policy set
Observed: The homepage response did not include a Referrer-Policy header.
What to do: Send Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin unless you have a reason to share more.
26% of Web & Cloud Hosting peers do this.
