Priority fixes for riotgames.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTTP/2 negotiated
Observed: The TLS handshake selected http/1.1 instead of HTTP/2.
Why it matters: HTTP/2 sends many files over one connection, which speeds up pages with lots of images, styles and scripts.
What to do: Enable HTTP/2 on your CDN or server. Most CDNs do this by default.
91% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.
Priority 2 · Harden
TLS 1.3 negotiated
Observed: The TLS connection negotiated TLSv1.2.
What to do: Enable TLS 1.3 on your CDN or server. Keep TLS 1.2 available for older clients unless you have checked your audience.
90% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this.
Priority 3 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 20 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.
46% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this.
Priority 4 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 58 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.
43% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this.
Guide: AVIF, WebP, JPEG, and PNG: Choose the Right Image Format
