Consider code splitting or tree shaking to reduce unused code.

Why this matters

This bundle has high unused code — code-split or tree-shake to ship only what executes.

HTTP/3 (QUIC)

HTTP/3 not advertised

REVIEW

HTTP/3 not advertised

HTTP/3 (QUIC) is not advertised

HTTP/3 isn't advertised via Alt-Svc and the worker didn't negotiate h3. HTTP/3 reduces handshake latency (1-RTT instead of 2-3 RTTs) and is more resilient on lossy connections. Most modern CDNs (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront, Google Cloud CDN) support HTTP/3 with a single config switch -- consider enabling for mobile-heavy workloads.

Server-Timing Observability

No Server-Timing header found

REVIEW

No Server-Timing header found

Server-Timing exposes backend timing breakdowns to browser DevTools (e.g., `db: 45ms; render: 120ms; cache: 2ms`). Useful for diagnosing slow pages without backend log access. Most modern frameworks (Next.js, Cloudflare Workers, Fastly) emit it automatically; absence on a managed platform usually means telemetry headers are stripped at the edge.

Why this matters

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

Main response uses brotli

Main HTML response uses brotli (Content-Encoding: br)

Brotli is the best text-compression algorithm for general use, ~20% smaller than gzip on average (40% on smaller files). Modern browsers all support it.

Server Response Intelligence

2 server-response signal(s) detected

PASS

2 server-response signal(s) detected

Compressed response missing `Vary` header

The page is served with `Content-Encoding: br` but has no `Vary` header. Without `Vary: Accept-Encoding`, intermediary caches (corporate proxies, ISP caches) may serve the compressed variant to clients that didn't send the matching `Accept-Encoding` -- the client sees garbled bytes. Add `Vary: Accept-Encoding` whenever the response is conditionally compressed.

Both `ETag` and `Last-Modified` present -- efficient revalidation supported

The page returns both `ETag` (content hash) and `Last-Modified` (timestamp) headers. Browsers can issue conditional GETs with `If-None-Match` or `If-Modified-Since`; the server returns 304 Not Modified for unchanged content, saving bandwidth. ETag is the more reliable of the two (timestamps fail in DST transitions and clock skew).

JavaScript Blocking

1 JS blocking issue(s) detected

PASS

1 JS blocking issue(s) detected

1 render-blocking <script src> tag(s) without async/defer

Each `<script src=...>` without `async`, `defer`, or `type="module"` blocks HTML parsing while the browser fetches and executes it. The block lasts the entire round-trip + execution time -- on slow networks this translates directly into LCP delay. Add `defer` (executes after parse, in source order) for scripts that interact with the DOM, or `async` (executes whenever ready) for analytics / independent scripts. Module scripts (`type="module"`) are deferred by default.

CSS Performance Depth

1 CSS depth issue(s) detected

PASS

1 CSS depth issue(s) detected

4 render-blocking stylesheet(s) -- recommended: <=3

Each `<link rel="stylesheet">` without a non-blocking `media` attribute holds up the first paint. Browsers download all of them before painting any content. Consolidate into 1-2 critical-path stylesheets; defer non-critical CSS via `<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" onload="this.media='all'">` or via the loadCSS pattern; inline above-the-fold CSS in `<style>` to short-circuit the request entirely.

Google Tag Manager adds 205ms and costs ~€2/month

Google Tag Manager takes 205ms of CPU time. Consider loading it asynchronously or replacing it with a lighter alternative.

Why this matters

This script has high main-thread execution time — optimize hot paths or defer.
