Priority fixes for scribd.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
HTML compressed
Observed: The homepage HTML (404 KB) was delivered without gzip, Brotli or zstd compression.
Why it matters: Compression usually shrinks HTML several times over, so the first bytes of the page arrive sooner on slow connections.
What to do: Enable Brotli or gzip for text responses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG) at the CDN or origin.
On Fastly: Enable compression for text content types.
94% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

Priority 2 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
69% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this.

Priority 3 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 1 external script 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 Next.js: Use the next/script component with an appropriate loading strategy.
48% of Literary & Knowledge peers do this.
