Priority fixes for creditkarma.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.
73% of Banking & Finance peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 0 seconds, 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.
On WordPress: Caching plugins or your host can set long browser cache lifetimes for theme and plugin assets.
43% of Banking & Finance peers do this.
Priority 3 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 29 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.
37% of Banking & Finance peers do this.

Priority 4 · Harden
Content Security Policy present
Observed: The homepage response did not include a Content-Security-Policy header.
What to do: Start with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only to see what would break, tighten the policy over a few weeks, then enforce it.
On Next.js: Next.js documents nonce-based CSP with middleware.
51% of Banking & Finance peers do this.
