First Contentful Paint First Contentful Paint — how long until the browser renders the first piece of content. Under 1.8s is good.
334 ms
Largest Contentful Paint Largest Contentful Paint — how long until the largest visible element loads. Under 2.5s is good.
1.21 s
Total Blocking Time Total Blocking Time — total time the main thread was blocked, preventing user input. Under 200ms is good.
0 ms
Cumulative Layout Shift Cumulative Layout Shift — measures visual stability. How much the page layout shifts during loading. Under 0.1 is good.

Speed Index Speed Index — how quickly content is visually displayed during load. Under 3.4s is good.

Page Load Progression
FPage Weight BudgetAction4.5 MB transferred, 81 requestsFIX
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%+.
Source: web.dev
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).

No Cache-Control header
Adding a Cache-Control header can significantly improve repeat-visit performance.

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 ~393 KB and ~786 ms
