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.
6.65 s
Largest Contentful Paint Largest Contentful Paint — how long until the largest visible element loads. Under 2.5s is good.
22.40 s
Total Blocking Time Total Blocking Time — total time the main thread was blocked, preventing user input. Under 200ms is good.
4.36 s
Cumulative Layout Shift Cumulative Layout Shift — measures visual stability. How much the page layout shifts during loading. Under 0.1 is good.
0.002
Speed Index Speed Index — how quickly content is visually displayed during load. Under 3.4s is good.
10.99 s
Time to Interactive Time to Interactive — how long until the page is fully interactive and responds to user input. Under 3.8s is good.

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.
A long cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page. Learn more about caching.
Consider setting font-display to swap or optional to ensure text is consistently visible. swap can be further optimized to mitigate layout shifts with font metric overrides.
