Priority fixes for icai.org

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

Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (79 KB) was delivered without gzip, Brotli or zstd compression.
Why it matters: Compression usually shrinks HTML several times over, so the first bytes of the page arrive sooner on slow connections.
What to do: Enable Brotli or gzip for text responses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG) at the CDN or origin.
90% of Education & Online Learning peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

What to do: Publish /robots.txt with any crawl rules you need and a Sitemap: line pointing to your XML sitemap.
82% of Education & Online Learning peers do this.

65% of Education & Online Learning peers do this.

Priority 4 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: The DMARC policy for icai.org was p=none, which asks receivers to take no action on failing mail.

36% of Education & Online Learning peers do this.
