Priority fixes for novelpeak.org

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

1. Priority 1 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 68 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.

   On Cloudflare: Cloudflare Polish can convert images to WebP.

   31% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

2. Priority 2 · Harden

   DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject

   Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.novelpeak.org.

   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.

   22% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Offscreen images lazy-loaded

   Observed: The homepage had 68 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.

   48% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Harden

   Content Security Policy present

   Observed: The homepage response did not include a Content-Security-Policy header.

   What to do: Start with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only to see what would break, tighten the policy over a few weeks, then enforce it.

   18% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this.
