(Important)

The web server transmits the web page (HTML) in compressed form.
Performance
(Somewhat important)
The page response time of 0.70 seconds is longer than the recommended limit of 0.4 seconds. A high response time unnecessarily slows down search engine crawling and results in bad user experience as well.
The file size of the HTML document is fine (76 kB).
