If you publish changelogs, reference guide #870 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.

Keyboard and screen-reader basics for form UX

A labeled URL field, visible focus rings, and a single primary button help keyboard-only visitors complete the flow. Skip mysterious icon-only controls without `aria-label` text.

Semantic headings let assistive tech users jump between sections the same way sighted users scan H2s.

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.
