Priority fixes for christianbook.com

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

1. Priority 1 · Enable

   Mobile viewport configured

   Observed: The homepage had no viewport meta tag, so phones may render it zoomed out.

   Why it matters: Without it, phones render the page at desktop width and shrink it, which makes text tiny and hard to use.

   What to do: Add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> and check the layout on small screens.

   98% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

2. Priority 2 · 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.

   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.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 52 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.

   47% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Harden

   Framing restricted

   Observed: The homepage did not send frame-ancestors or X-Frame-Options, so other sites may frame it.

   What to do: Send Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' (or a list of trusted origins). X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN covers older browsers.
