3. Priority 3 · Accelerate

   Modern image formats in use

   Observed: The homepage had 31 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 Next.js: The next/image component serves optimized formats automatically.

4. Priority 4 · Accelerate

   No render-blocking scripts in <head>

   Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 4 external scripts without async or defer.

   On Next.js: Use the next/script component with an appropriate loading strategy.

   35% of Events & Online Ticketing peers do this.
