HTTP/3 (QUIC)
HTTP/3 not advertised
REVIEW
HTTP/3 not advertised
Info::
HTTP/3 (QUIC) is not advertised
HTTP/3 isn't advertised via Alt-Svc and the worker didn't negotiate h3. HTTP/3 reduces handshake latency (1-RTT instead of 2-3 RTTs) and is more resilient on lossy connections. Most modern CDNs (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront, Google Cloud CDN) support HTTP/3 with a single config switch -- consider enabling for mobile-heavy workloads.
B
Server-Timing Observability
No Server-Timing header found
REVIEW
No Server-Timing header found
Info::
No Server-Timing header found
Server-Timing exposes backend timing breakdowns to browser DevTools (e.g., `db: 45ms; render: 120ms; cache: 2ms`). Useful for diagnosing slow pages without backend log access. Most modern frameworks (Next.js, Cloudflare Workers, Fastly) emit it automatically; absence on a managed platform usually means telemetry headers are stripped at the edge.

Server Response Intelligence
2 server-response signal(s) detected
PASS
2 server-response signal(s) detected
Warning::
Compressed response missing `Vary` header
The page is served with `Content-Encoding: br` but has no `Vary` header. Without `Vary: Accept-Encoding`, intermediary caches (corporate proxies, ISP caches) may serve the compressed variant to clients that didn't send the matching `Accept-Encoding` -- the client sees garbled bytes. Add `Vary: Accept-Encoding` whenever the response is conditionally compressed.
Info::
Both `ETag` and `Last-Modified` present -- efficient revalidation supported
The page returns both `ETag` (content hash) and `Last-Modified` (timestamp) headers. Browsers can issue conditional GETs with `If-None-Match` or `If-Modified-Since`; the server returns 304 Not Modified for unchanged content, saving bandwidth. ETag is the more reliable of the two (timestamps fail in DST transitions and clock skew).

40% of JavaScript execution time comes from third-party scripts.

Why this matters

Third-party scripts (analytics, ads, social, A/B testing) often dominate execution time — every one is a perf-and-privacy tax.

Learn more

Each third-party script is a black box: you don't control when it loads, what it executes, or how much it grows. They often account for a major share of total blocking time on average sites (HTTP Archive's Web Almanac documents the trend). Audit which ones you actually need, defer the rest, and use facade patterns (lite-youtube, lite-vimeo) for embedded media.
