Priority fixes for webnews.it
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTTP/2 negotiated
Observed: The TLS handshake selected http/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.
Why it matters: HTTP/2 sends many files over one connection, which speeds up pages with lots of images, styles and scripts.
What to do: Enable HTTP/2 on your CDN or server. Most CDNs do this by default.
94% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · Harden
HSTS kept for at least a year
Observed: The homepage response did not include a Strict-Transport-Security header.
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 Cloudflare: Enable HSTS under SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates > HTTP Strict Transport Security and raise max-age gradually.
35% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 3 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.webnews.it.
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.
37% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
Page language declared
Observed: The homepage <html> element had no lang attribute.
What to do: Set lang on the html element (for example lang="en") and on any sections in another language.
97% of News & Media peers do this.
