Industry-standard audits powered by Google Lighthouse.
Key metrics that affect user experience.
First Contentful Paint First Contentful Paint — how long until the browser renders the first piece of content. Under 1.8s is good.
2.78 s
Largest Contentful Paint Largest Contentful Paint — how long until the largest visible element loads. Under 2.5s is good.
3.80 s
Total Blocking Time Total Blocking Time — total time the main thread was blocked, preventing user input. Under 200ms is good.
492 ms
Cumulative Layout Shift Cumulative Layout Shift — measures visual stability. How much the page layout shifts during loading. Under 0.1 is good.
0.001
Speed Index Speed Index — how quickly content is visually displayed during load. Under 3.4s is good.
3.30 s

Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.
Polyfills and transforms enable older browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. Consider modifying your JavaScript build process to not transpile Baseline features, unless you know you must support older browsers. Learn why most sites can deploy ES6+ code without transpiling
3rd party code can significantly impact load performance. Reduce and defer loading of 3rd party code to prioritize your page's content.
Reducing the download time of images can improve the perceived load time of the page and LCP. Learn more about optimizing image size

Optimize LCP by making the LCP image discoverable from the HTML immediately, and avoiding lazy-loading
Avoid chaining critical requests by reducing the length of chains, reducing the download size of resources, or deferring the download of unnecessary resources to improve page load.
Requests are blocking the page's initial render, which may delay LCP. Deferring or inlining can move these network requests out of the critical path.
