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%+.

HTTP Caching
Action
No cache headers
FIX
No cache headers
Warning::
No Cache-Control header found
Browsers will use heuristic caching, which can be unpredictable. Set explicit cache headers.
Info::
ETag present — enables conditional (304) responses
Info::
Last-Modified header present

No Cache-Control header

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

Set explicit width and height to prevent CLS.

Why this matters

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

B
HTTP/3 (QUIC)
HTTP/3 not advertised
REVIEW
HTTP/3 not advertised
Info::
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.
C
Compression Algorithm
Action
Main response served uncompressed
REVIEW
Main response served uncompressed
Info::
Main HTML response has no Content-Encoding (uncompressed)
The main HTML document is served without compression. The Text Compression section above lists the broader picture; for the main response specifically, even gzip would shave ~70-80% off most text payloads.
B
Main HTML Cache-Control
No Cache-Control header on main HTML response
REVIEW
No Cache-Control header on main HTML response
Info::
Main HTML response has no Cache-Control header
Without an explicit Cache-Control, browsers fall back to heuristic caching (~10% of Last-Modified age). Set `Cache-Control: no-cache` or `max-age=300` for HTML to control freshness explicitly -- prevents stale auth state and SPA shell drift.
B
Server-Timing Observability
No Server-Timing header found
REVIEW
No Server-Timing header found
Info::
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.

PASS
2 server-response signal(s) detected
Info::
`Vary` header declared: Accept-Encoding
The page declares a `Vary` header, telling downstream caches which request headers the response varies on. Critical for content-negotiated responses (compression, language, cookies, device class).
Info::
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).

74% of JavaScript execution time is spent on third-party scripts. Consider auditing which scripts are essential.

Why this matters

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.
