Priority fixes for rugbypass.com

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

1. 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 Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this. Limit: Certificate and protocol were observed from one vantage point; CDNs can present different certificates by region.

2. Priority 2 · Accelerate

   No render-blocking scripts in <head>

   Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 3 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.

   On WordPress: Since WordPress 6.3, scripts can be registered with a defer or async loading strategy.

   43% of Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this.

3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Offscreen images lazy-loaded

   Observed: The homepage had 266 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.

   On WordPress: WordPress has added loading="lazy" to images by default since 5.5; check that your theme or a plugin has not removed it.

   56% of Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this.

4. Priority 4 · Harden

   Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less

   Observed: The certificate from SSL Corporation had a 198-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.

   What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.

   70% of Sports Broadcast & Fantasy Games peers do this.
