Priority fixes for impawards.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
HTTP requests move to HTTPS
Observed: A request to http://www.impawards.com/ was not redirected to HTTPS.
Why it matters: Visitors who type the address or follow an old link start on unencrypted HTTP. A redirect moves them to the encrypted site before any cookies or form data are sent.
What to do: Add a permanent (301 or 308) redirect from every http:// URL to the same https:// URL at your CDN, load balancer or web server.
95% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this. Limit: Measured for the homepage only, from one location, at the time of the check.
Priority 2 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (30 KB) was delivered without gzip, Brotli or zstd compression.
What to do: Enable Brotli or gzip for text responses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG) at the CDN or origin.
97% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this.

Priority 3 · 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.
92% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this.
Priority 4 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 48 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.
46% of Stock Image & Video Libraries peers do this.
