Priority fixes for verizon.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 600 seconds, short of the 30-day benchmark.
Why it matters: Returning visitors and later page views reuse cached files instead of downloading them again.
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. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · Enable
Social preview image set
Observed: The homepage had no og:image, so shared links may show without a preview image.
What to do: Add Open Graph tags, including og:image with a 1200 x 630 image.
59% of Telecommunications & Internet peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
Structured data present
Observed: The homepage had no JSON-LD structured data.
What to do: Add JSON-LD for your organization and main content types, then test it with Google's Rich Results Test.
51% of Telecommunications & Internet 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.
13% of Telecommunications & Internet peers do this.
