Priority fixes for grok.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 1 external script without async or defer.
Why it matters: A plain <script src> in the head stops the browser from showing anything until that file has downloaded and run.
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.
On Next.js: Use the next/script component with an appropriate loading strategy.
44% of Generative AI Chatbots & Assistants peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

Nameservers spread across providers
Observed: All nameservers for grok.com belong to Cloudflare.
What to do: Treat this as an advanced step. Add a secondary DNS provider through zone transfers or a multi-provider setup, then test changes carefully, since both providers must stay in sync.
On Cloudflare: Cloudflare supports zone transfers for primary or secondary DNS setups on eligible plans.
4.3% of Generative AI Chatbots & Assistants peers do this.
