Priority fixes for weatherbug.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 1 external script without async or defer.
Why it matters: A plain <script src> in the head stops the browser from showing anything until that file has downloaded and run.
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.
56% of Weather Forecast peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 33 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.
23% of Weather Forecast peers do this.

Priority 3 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Amazon had a 197-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.
59% of Weather Forecast peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
Social preview image set
Observed: The homepage had no og:image, so shared links may show without a preview image.
What to do: Add Open Graph tags, including og:image with a 1200 x 630 image.
58% of Weather Forecast peers do this.
