Priority fixes for nctb.gov.bd

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

1. Priority 1 · Accelerate

   HTML compressed

   Observed: The homepage HTML (110 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.

   74% of Government Services peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
