Priority fixes for versus.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
HSTS kept for at least a year
Observed: Strict-Transport-Security was sent with a max-age of 1 days, below the one-year benchmark.
Why it matters: HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS for your host on every later visit, which removes the window where a first HTTP request can be intercepted.
What to do: Send Strict-Transport-Security on HTTPS responses. Start with a short max-age (for example 300 seconds), confirm every subdomain works over HTTPS, then raise it in steps to 31536000. Add includeSubDomains only when all subdomains are HTTPS. HSTS preload is optional and hard to undo; hstspreload.org itself does not recommend it by default.
On Amazon CloudFront: Attach a response headers policy with Strict-Transport-Security to each distribution.
31% of Ratings & Reviews peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
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.
40% of Ratings & Reviews peers do this.
Priority 3 · 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.
64% of Ratings & Reviews peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
CAA records limit who can issue certificates
Observed: No CAA record was found for versus.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.
11% of Ratings & Reviews peers do this.
