## WHAT WAS IMPLEMENTED

### Phase 5: Content Optimization (10 checks)

1. **analyze_unoptimized_images()** - Detects large unoptimized images (>500KB)
   - Fix: Optimize with ImageMagick or plugins
   - Impact: 30-50% file size reduction

2. **analyze_webp_conversion()** - Checks for WebP format implementation
   - Fix: Use Imagify or ShortPixel
   - Impact: 30-50% smaller files for modern browsers

3. **analyze_large_assets()** - Finds large unminified CSS/JS files (>100KB)
   - Fix: Minify with W3 Total Cache or WP Optimize
   - Impact: 20-40% reduction

4. **analyze_render_blocking()** - Detects scripts/styles blocking page render
   - Fix: Defer and async loading
   - Impact: 1-2 second faster first paint

5. **analyze_font_loading()** - Checks web font optimization
   - Fix: Add font-display: swap
   - Impact: Faster perceived load time

6. **analyze_request_count()** - Counts HTTP requests (80+ = high)
   - Fix: Consolidate files, lazy load
   - Impact: 10-20% faster page load

7. **analyze_third_party_scripts()** - Detects external scripts (ads, analytics)
   - Fix: Lazy load non-critical third-party code
   - Impact: 15-30% improvement for users

8. **analyze_unused_assets()** - Finds inline styles and unused code
   - Fix: Move to external stylesheets
   - Impact: Better caching

9. **analyze_content_delivery()** - Checks for compression (gzip/brotli)
   - Fix: Enable compression in server config
   - Impact: 30-50% smaller responses

10. **analyze_cache_headers()** - Checks Cache-Control headers
    - Fix: Set max-age=3600 or higher
    - Impact: Fewer repeat requests

### Phase 5: Network & DNS (8 checks)

11. **analyze_dns_resolution_time()** - Measures DNS query time
    - Fix: Switch to faster DNS (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8)
    - Impact: 50-100ms improvement

12. **analyze_dns_records()** - Checks for excessive CNAME chains
    - Fix: Minimize DNS lookups
    - Impact: Faster initial connection

13. **analyze_redirect_chains()** - Counts HTTP → HTTPS → final redirects
    - Fix: Point directly to final destination
    - Impact: 200-400ms per page load

14. **analyze_ssl_certificate()** - Checks certificate expiration
    - Fix: CRITICAL - Renew immediately
    - Impact: Prevents site downtime

15. **analyze_connection_keepalive()** - Checks if keep-alive is enabled
    - Fix: Enable KeepAlive in Apache
    - Impact: 20-30% faster for multiple requests

16. **analyze_https_redirect()** - Checks HTTP to HTTPS redirect
    - Fix: Add permanent 301 redirect
    - Impact: Security + consistency

17. **analyze_network_waterfall()** - Measures overall page response time
    - Fix: Analyze full waterfall with DevTools
    - Impact: Identifies bottlenecks

18. **analyze_cdn_performance()** - Detects CDN usage
    - Fix: Implement CDN if not present
    - Impact: 20-40% faster for global users
