HTTP Caching

Action

No Cache-Control header

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

Page Weight Budget

Action

2.0 MB transferred, 165 requests

REVIEW

2.0 MB transferred, 165 requests

Page weighs 4.5 MB (2.0 MB transferred)

Images are 1.2 MB — compress or use modern formats

Convert images to WebP/AVIF and resize to display dimensions to reduce transfer size.

Got: 1.2 MB

JavaScript is 538 KB — consider code splitting or lazy loading

Large JavaScript bundles delay interactivity. Split code by route or defer non-critical scripts.

Got: 538 KB

165 HTTP requests — consider bundling or reducing

Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.

Approaching limit

Convert images to WebP/AVIF and resize to display dimensions to reduce transfer size.

Why this matters

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.

Why this matters

JavaScript bundle is large — code-split routes and lazy-load off-screen components to defer.

Source: web.dev

Each request adds latency. Bundle small files, use sprites, or eliminate unnecessary requests.

Why this matters

High HTTP request count — bundling, sprite-ing, and HTTP/2 server push can reduce per-request overhead.
