   XML sitemap discoverable

   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.

2. Priority 2 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Offscreen images lazy-loaded

   Observed: The homepage had 198 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.

4. Priority 4 · Accelerate

   No render-blocking scripts in <head>

   Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 4 external scripts without async or defer.
