Priority fixes for guardian.co.tt
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
Why it matters: A sitemap helps search engines find new and updated pages, especially on large or frequently updated sites.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
87% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Only the standard location was requested, once, at the time of the check.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 47 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 Cloudflare: Cloudflare Polish can convert images to WebP.
44% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 3 · Enable
Canonical URL declared
Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.
What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.
89% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 4 · Accelerate
Offscreen images lazy-loaded
Observed: The homepage had 47 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.
72% of News & Media peers do this.
