Reducing third-party cookie reliance
Ad networks that require dozens of sync calls slow pages and worry privacy regulators. First-party analytics plus contextual ads are lighter where revenue allows.
Document consent banners if EU traffic is meaningful.
Explaining HDR vs SDR exports
HDR-to-SDR tone mapping is subjective. If you flatten HDR sources, disclose that colors may shift on non-HDR displays.
Keep HDR passthrough only when your player test matrix supports it.
gzip and Brotli for text assets
Modern hosts compress HTML/CSS/JS automatically. Verify with `curl -H 'Accept-Encoding: br' -I` so you are not accidentally serving uncompressed bundles.
Precompressed uploads matter most when you self-host without a CDN layer.
