- Convert to woff2 for ~30% smaller file size
Optimization checklist
- Preload critical fonts (priority=high)
- Use woff2 format for all fonts
- Set font-display to swap, optional, or fallback
- Subset large fonts (≤100 KB each)
Fixing the unchecked items could save ~21 KB and ~42 ms

100% of JavaScript execution time is spent on third-party scripts. Consider auditing which scripts are essential.
When third-party JS execution time exceeds your own, performance gains from frontend work are capped by code you don't own.

Every millisecond of third-party JS competes with your own for main-thread time. If their share is bigger than yours, optimization on your code base barely moves the needle. Audit, defer, or remove third-parties before further frontend optimization. Use Lighthouse's third-party audit to identify the worst offenders.
