Priority fixes for tinder.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 Amazon had a 394-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.
64% of Dating Apps peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · 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.
18% of Dating Apps peers do this.
Priority 3 · 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.
5.7% of Dating Apps peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
DNSSEC signed
Observed: No DS record was found for tinder.com at its parent zone, so its DNS answers are not DNSSEC-signed.
What to do: Enable DNSSEC at your DNS provider, then add the DS record at your registrar. Plan provider moves carefully: a stale DS record can make the domain fail to resolve.
On Amazon Route 53: Enable DNSSEC signing for the hosted zone and establish the chain of trust at the registrar.
8.3% of Dating Apps peers do this.
