Priority fixes for animatetimes.com

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.
On Amazon CloudFront: Choose HTTP/2 (or HTTP/2 and HTTP/3) as supported versions on the distribution.
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 · Enable
robots.txt published
Observed: No robots.txt file was returned at the site root.
What to do: Publish /robots.txt with any crawl rules you need and a Sitemap: line pointing to your XML sitemap.
98% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 3 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
On WordPress: WordPress has generated a basic sitemap at /wp-sitemap.xml since 5.5; SEO plugins can replace it.
87% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 4 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 131 images and none used WebP or AVIF.
What to do: Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG or PNG fallback, either through an image CDN or by generating both formats at build time.
On WordPress: WordPress has supported WebP uploads since 5.8 and AVIF since 6.5; image plugins or the host can convert existing images.
44% of News & Media peers do this.
