These scripts may cost more than they're worth

  • d97cdb3de0b0.a62927d9.eu-west-1.token.awswaf.com adds 1854ms and costs ~$25/month
  • Unattributable adds 294ms and costs ~$4/month

100% of JavaScript execution time is spent on third-party scripts. Consider auditing which scripts are essential.

Why this matters

When third-party JS execution time exceeds your own, performance gains from frontend work are capped by code you don't own.

Learn more ▾

Every millisecond of third-party JS competes with your own for main-thread time. If their share is bigger than yours, optimization on your code base barely moves the needle. Audit, defer, or remove third-parties before further frontend optimization. Use Lighthouse's third-party audit to identify the worst offenders.

d97cdb3de0b0.a62927d9.eu-west-1.token.awswaf.com takes 1854ms of CPU time. Consider loading it asynchronously or replacing it with a lighter alternative.

Why this matters

This script has high main-thread execution time — optimize hot paths or defer.

Source: web.dev

55% of d97cdb3de0b0.a62927d9.eu-west-1.token.awswaf.com's code is unused. The script may be loading features you don't use.

Why this matters

Bundle has high unused-code ratio — tree-shaking and route-splitting recover the wasted bytes.
