Priority fixes for wetransfer.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 197-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.
80% of Cloud Storage & File Transfer peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · Enable
Canonical URL declared
Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.
What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.
41% of Cloud Storage & File Transfer peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
Reachable over IPv6
Observed: No IPv6 (AAAA) address was published for wetransfer.com.
What to do: Enable IPv6 at your CDN or host and publish the AAAA record it provides.
61% of Cloud Storage & File Transfer 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.
5.3% of Cloud Storage & File Transfer peers do this.
