Measurement ideas

Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether privacy-conscious workflow changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.

If you publish changelogs, reference guide #293 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.

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.
