Priority fixes for surveymonkey.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 1 external script without async or defer.
Why it matters: A plain <script src> in the head stops the browser from showing anything until that file has downloaded and run.
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.
On Next.js: Use the next/script component with an appropriate loading strategy.
46% of Business Tools peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.
Guide: Control Third-Party Scripts Before They Control Your Page
Priority 2 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Amazon had a 197-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.
What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.
56% of Business Tools peers do this.
Priority 3 · Harden
CAA records limit who can issue certificates
Observed: No CAA record was found for surveymonkey.com, so any public certificate authority may issue for it.
What to do: Publish CAA records naming every CA you actually use, including the CAs your CDN uses for managed certificates. Add an iodef contact if you want reports.
16% of Business Tools peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
security.txt published
Observed: No valid /.well-known/security.txt with a Contact field was returned.
What to do: Publish /.well-known/security.txt with at least Contact and Expires fields, as RFC 9116 requires, and review it before it expires.
9.4% of Business Tools peers do this.
