Priority fixes for spectrum.net

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

1. 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 Amazon CloudFront: Attach a response headers policy with Strict-Transport-Security to each distribution.

   54% of Telecommunications & Internet peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.spectrum.net.

   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.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Static files cached for 30 days or more

   Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 60 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.

   41% of Telecommunications & Internet peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · 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.

   76% of Telecommunications & Internet peers do this.
