Priority fixes for abercrombie.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (3 KB) was delivered without gzip, Brotli or zstd compression.
Why it matters: Compression usually shrinks HTML several times over, so the first bytes of the page arrive sooner on slow connections.
What to do: Enable Brotli or gzip for text responses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG) at the CDN or origin.
97% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 1 days, short of the 30-day benchmark.
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.
60% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
Meta description written
Observed: The homepage had no meta description.
What to do: Write a short, specific description of the page for people, not a list of keywords.
95% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

Priority 4 · 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.
85% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
