Priority fixes for thehalara.au

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

1. Priority 1 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 6 images and none used WebP or AVIF.

   Why it matters: WebP and AVIF are typically much smaller than JPEG or PNG at similar quality, and images are often the heaviest part of a page.

   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.

   On Shopify: Shopify's image CDN can serve modern formats; follow Shopify's web performance guidance for themes.

   47% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: The DMARC policy for thehalara.au was p=none, which asks receivers to take no action on failing mail.

   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

   HTTP/3 advertised

   Observed: The homepage did not advertise HTTP/3 through an Alt-Svc header.

   What to do: Turn on HTTP/3 at your CDN. Browsers fall back to HTTP/2 automatically, so the risk is low.

   On Amazon CloudFront: Select HTTP/3 in the distribution's supported HTTP versions.

4. Priority 4 · 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.

   On Shopify: this setting is largely controlled by the platform. Check the platform's settings and documentation, or ask its support team whether it can be changed for your domain.
