277 ms

Largest Contentful Paint Largest Contentful Paint — how long until the largest visible element loads. Under 2.5s is good.

634 ms

HTTP Caching
Action
No cache headers
FIX
No cache headers
Warning::
No Cache-Control header found
Browsers will use heuristic caching, which can be unpredictable. Set explicit cache headers.

No Cache-Control header

Adding a Cache-Control header can significantly improve repeat-visit performance.

Image Optimization
12 images, 0 KB saveable
REVIEW
12 images, 0 KB saveable
Warning::
https://metal-archives.com/images/ozzy.webp is missing width/height — may cause layout shift
Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.
12 images 429 KB
0 oversized -0 KB
11 legacy format
1 missing dimensions CLS risk

Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

Why this matters

Image without explicit width/height — browser can't reserve space; CLS jumps when image loads.
