Priority fixes for airarabia.com

Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.

1. Priority 1 · Accelerate

   Static files cached for 30 days or more

   Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 7 days, short of the 30-day benchmark.

   Why it matters: Returning visitors and later page views reuse cached files instead of downloading them again.

   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.

   40% of Airlines peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

   What to do: Write a short, specific description of the page for people, not a list of keywords.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

4. Priority 4 · Accelerate

   No render-blocking scripts in <head>
