Priority fixes for pens.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 57 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.
47% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

Priority 2 · 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.
44% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.

Priority 3 · Harden
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Observed: The homepage response did not include X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
What to do: Send X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on all responses and make sure each file is served with the correct Content-Type.
On Cloudflare: Add the header with a response header transform rule.
64% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
Social preview image set
Observed: The homepage had no og:image, so shared links may show without a preview image.
What to do: Add Open Graph tags, including og:image with a 1200 x 630 image.
60% of E-Commerce & Marketplaces peers do this.
