The security of the website was increased by setting the secure SSL purchased from a proven provider. DNSSEC was not setup yet because of ISP problems.
HTTP/2 is not working yet because the Apache installed at the hosting company is older that version 2.4.26, required for HTTP/2. However it was planned to upgrade it soon. - A report on “Open Standards Everywhere” is planned on “Regithon” – a meeting of ISOC Chapter members and network operators on June 11, 2020.
