Priority fixes for ruv.is

Priority 1 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
Why it matters: A sitemap helps search engines find new and updated pages, especially on large or frequently updated sites.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
87% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Only the standard location was requested, once, at the time of the check.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 11 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 Cloudflare: Cloudflare Polish can convert images to WebP.
44% of News & Media peers do this.

Priority 4 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: The DMARC policy for ruv.is was p=none, which asks receivers to take no action on failing mail.
