First Contentful Paint First Contentful Paint — how long until the browser renders the first piece of content. Under 1.8s is good.
628 ms
Largest Contentful Paint Largest Contentful Paint — how long until the largest visible element loads. Under 2.5s is good.
1.43 s
Total Blocking Time Total Blocking Time — total time the main thread was blocked, preventing user input. Under 200ms is good.
563 ms
Cumulative Layout Shift Cumulative Layout Shift — measures visual stability. How much the page layout shifts during loading. Under 0.1 is good.
0.012
Speed Index Speed Index — how quickly content is visually displayed during load. Under 3.4s is good.
1.83 s
Time to Interactive Time to Interactive — how long until the page is fully interactive and responds to user input. Under 3.8s is good.

Page Load Progression
FPage Weight BudgetAction3.8 MB transferred, 139 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%+.

Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.
JavaScript bundle is large — code-split routes and lazy-load off-screen components to defer.

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).

Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.
High HTTP request count — bundling, sprite-ing, and HTTP/2 server push can reduce per-request overhead.

82% 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.
