FIX
no-store (uncacheable)
Info::
Cache-Control: no-store prevents all caching
Intentional for dynamic content, but increases server load for every page view.
Got: private, no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate
Info::
No ETag or Last-Modified header
Conditional requests (304 Not Modified) are not possible without validators.
Cache-Control

private, no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate

DirectiveValueMeaning
privateOnly browser cache, not CDN/proxy
no-cacheCache but always revalidate first
no-storeNever cache this response
max-age0Cache for 0 seconds

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.

Subset fonts to include only used characters, or switch to system font stacks.

Why this matters

Font payload is large — subset to used glyphs only, or fall back to system fonts (zero load time).

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)

PASS
HTTP/3 advertised via Alt-Svc
Info::
HTTP/3 (QUIC) is supported
First-load mobile users on cellular networks see meaningful latency improvements with HTTP/3. The QUIC transport collapses TLS + TCP handshakes into one and recovers faster from packet loss.
A+
Compression Algorithm
Main response uses brotli
PASS
Main response uses brotli
Info::
Main HTML response uses brotli (Content-Encoding: br)
Brotli is the best text-compression algorithm for general use, ~20% smaller than gzip on average (40% on smaller files). Modern browsers all support it.

Server Response Intelligence
2 server-response signal(s) detected
PASS
2 server-response signal(s) detected
Info::
`Vary` header declared: rsc, next-router-state-tree, next-router-prefetch, next-router-segment-prefetch,...
The page declares a `Vary` header, telling downstream caches which request headers the response varies on. Critical for content-negotiated responses (compression, language, cookies, device class).
Info::
No `ETag` or `Last-Modified` -- conditional GET not supported
Without either header, browsers can't issue conditional GETs and refresh always re-downloads the full response body even when nothing changed. Add `ETag: "<hash>"` (or `Last-Modified: <date>`) on cacheable responses; the server returns 304 Not Modified when the client's cached copy is still valid, saving bandwidth.
