Priority fixes for whatculture.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
Canonical URL declared
Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.
Why it matters: A canonical link tells search engines which URL to show when the same page is reachable at several addresses.
What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.
89% of News & Media peers do this. Limit: Based on the homepage HTML delivered to an automated client; scripts that run later were not executed.
Priority 2 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 2 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.
42% of News & Media peers do this.
Guide: Control Third-Party Scripts Before They Control Your Page
Priority 3 · 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.
71% of News & Media peers do this.
Priority 4 · Accelerate
HTTP/3 advertised
Observed: The homepage did not advertise HTTP/3 through an Alt-Svc header.
What to do: Turn on HTTP/3 at your CDN. Browsers fall back to HTTP/2 automatically, so the risk is low.
36% of News & Media peers do this.
