Priority fixes for ngl.link
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for no max-age, short of the 30-day benchmark.
Why it matters: Returning visitors and later page views reuse cached files instead of downloading them again.
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.
On Cloudflare: Use Cache Rules to set edge and browser TTLs for static file paths.
55% of Social Media & Networking peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.
Priority 2 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
64% of Social Media & Networking peers do this.

Priority 3 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.ngl.link.
What to do: Publish DMARC with p=none and a reporting address first, fix any legitimate senders that fail SPF or DKIM alignment, then move to quarantine and finally reject.
39% of Social Media & Networking peers do this.
Priority 4 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 136 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.
On Cloudflare: Cloudflare Polish can convert images to WebP.
34% of Social Media & Networking peers do this.
