Priority fixes for netlify.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 23 images and none used WebP or AVIF.
Why it matters: WebP and AVIF are typically much smaller than JPEG or PNG at similar quality, and images are often the heaviest part of a page.
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.
65% of Web Hosting & Infrastructure peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 0 seconds, short of the 30-day benchmark.
What to do: Give versioned (fingerprinted) CSS, JavaScript, fonts and images Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable, and change the file name whenever the content changes.
65% of Web Hosting & Infrastructure peers do this.
Priority 3 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 2 external scripts without async or defer.
What to do: Add defer to scripts that need the DOM, async to independent ones such as analytics, or move them to the end of the body.
50% of Web Hosting & Infrastructure peers do this.

Priority 4 · Harden
Framing restricted
Observed: The homepage did not send frame-ancestors or X-Frame-Options, so other sites may frame it.
What to do: Send Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' (or a list of trusted origins). X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN covers older browsers.
68% of Web Hosting & Infrastructure peers do this.
