Convert images to WebP/AVIF and resize to display dimensions to reduce transfer size.
Image bandwidth is high — modern formats (WebP/AVIF) and resizing typically cut it 50%+.

Remove unused CSS rules with tools like PurgeCSS to reduce stylesheet size.
CSS bundle is large — purge unused styles (PurgeCSS, Tailwind JIT) to reduce CSS payload.

Subset fonts to include only used characters, or switch to system font stacks.
Font payload is large — subset to used glyphs only, or fall back to system fonts (zero load time).

- Convert to woff2 for ~30% smaller file size
- Subset this font — over 100 KB suggests Latin Extended or full glyph coverage that most pages don't need
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)
Fixing the unchecked items could save ~146 KB and ~292 ms

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