Priority fixes for nit.pt

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

Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (203 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.
97% of News & Media 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.
On WordPress: WordPress has generated a basic sitemap at /wp-sitemap.xml since 5.5; SEO plugins can replace it.
87% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 3 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 7 days, 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.
On WordPress: Caching plugins or your host can set long browser cache lifetimes for theme and plugin assets.
60% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 4 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 34 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 WordPress: WordPress has supported WebP uploads since 5.8 and AVIF since 6.5; image plugins or the host can convert existing images.
44% of News & Media peers do this.
