1.87 s
Largest Contentful Paint Largest Contentful Paint — how long until the largest visible element loads. Under 2.5s is good.
4.52 s
Total Blocking Time Total Blocking Time — total time the main thread was blocked, preventing user input. Under 200ms is good.
156 ms
Cumulative Layout Shift Cumulative Layout Shift — measures visual stability. How much the page layout shifts during loading. Under 0.1 is good.
0.495
Speed Index Speed Index — how quickly content is visually displayed during load. Under 3.4s is good.

Audit breakdown by category with detailed findings.
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.

Layout shifts occur when elements move absent any user interaction. Investigate the causes of layout shifts, such as elements being added, removed, or their fonts changing as the page loads.
Reducing the download time of images can improve the perceived load time of the page and LCP. Learn more about optimizing image size

Each subpart has specific improvement strategies. Ideally, most of the LCP time should be spent on loading the resources, not within delays.
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.

These are the largest layout shifts observed on the page. Each table item represents a single layout shift, and shows the element that shifted the most. Below each item are possible root causes that led to the layout shift. Some of these layout shifts may not be included in the CLS metric value due to windowing. Learn how to improve CLS

These checks highlight opportunities to improve the accessibility of your web app. Automatic detection can only detect a subset of issues and does not guarantee the accessibility of your web app, so manual testing is also encouraged.
These checks ensure that your page is following basic search engine optimization advice. There are many additional factors Lighthouse does not score here that may affect your search ranking, including performance on Core Web Vitals. Learn more about Google Search Essentials.
