Performance
Insights
Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
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
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
3rd party code can significantly impact load performance. Reduce and defer loading of 3rd party code to prioritize your page's content.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
A long cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page. Learn more about caching.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Your first network request is the most important. Reduce its latency by avoiding redirects, ensuring a fast server response, and enabling text compression.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
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.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
A forced reflow occurs when JavaScript queries geometric properties (such as offsetWidth) after styles have been invalidated by a change to the DOM state. This can result in poor performance. Learn more about forced reflows and possible mitigations.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Optimize LCP by making the LCP image discoverable from the HTML immediately, and avoiding lazy-loading
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
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.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
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.
