Priority fixes for dhl.de

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

1. Priority 1 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 15 images and none used WebP or AVIF.

   Why it matters: WebP and AVIF are typically much smaller than JPEG or PNG at similar quality, and images are often the heaviest part of a page.

   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.

   31% of Postage & Courier Services 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

   No render-blocking scripts in <head>

   Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 3 external scripts without async or defer.

   What to do: Add defer to scripts that need the DOM, async to independent ones such as analytics, or move them to the end of the body.

3. Priority 3 · Enable

   At most one redirect to the homepage

   Observed: The homepage was reached after 2 redirects.

   What to do: Point every alternate address (http, www or apex, old paths) straight to the final URL in a single redirect.

   96% of Postage & Courier Services peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Accelerate

   Offscreen images lazy-loaded

   Observed: The homepage had 15 images and none used loading="lazy".

   What to do: Add loading="lazy" to images below the fold. Do not lazy-load the main hero image, because that delays the largest visible element.

   44% of Postage & Courier Services peers do this.
