Priority fixes for ignou.ac.in
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (94 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.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
HTTP/2 negotiated
Observed: The TLS handshake selected HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.
What to do: Enable HTTP/2 on your CDN or server. Most CDNs do this by default.
80% of Education & Online Learning peers do this.
Priority 3 · Harden
TLS 1.3 negotiated
Observed: The TLS connection negotiated TLSv1.2.
What to do: Enable TLS 1.3 on your CDN or server. Keep TLS 1.2 available for older clients unless you have checked your audience.
86% of Education & Online Learning peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
robots.txt published
Observed: No robots.txt file was returned at the site root.
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.
