Priority fixes for townnews.co.jp
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
HTTP requests move to HTTPS
Observed: A request to http://www.townnews.co.jp/ was not redirected to HTTPS.
Why it matters: Visitors who type the address or follow an old link start on unencrypted HTTP. A redirect moves them to the encrypted site before any cookies or form data are sent.
What to do: Add a permanent (301 or 308) redirect from every http:// URL to the same https:// URL at your CDN, load balancer or web server.
96% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Measured for the homepage only, from one location, at the time of the check.
Priority 2 · Accelerate
HTTP/2 negotiated
Observed: The TLS handshake selected http/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.
What to do: Enable HTTP/2 on your CDN or server. Most CDNs do this by default.
94% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
87% of News & Media peers do this.
Guide: XML Sitemap Guide: Include Only URLs You Stand Behind
Priority 4 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for no max-age, 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.
60% of News & Media peers do this.
