Performance Overall performance score (0–100) based on Core Web Vitals and other metrics. 90+ is good.
96
Accessibility Measures how accessible the page is for users with disabilities. Checks color contrast, ARIA labels, and semantic HTML.
96
Best Practices Checks for modern web development best practices including HTTPS, no console errors, and secure JavaScript.
100
SEO Measures basic SEO optimizations: meta tags, crawlability, link text, and mobile friendliness.

First Contentful Paint First Contentful Paint — how long until the browser renders the first piece of content. Under 1.8s is good.

414 ms

Largest Contentful Paint Largest Contentful Paint — how long until the largest visible element loads. Under 2.5s is good.

690 ms

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.

Why this matters

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

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
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.

Risk FOUT — text flashes from fallback to web font

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 ~42 KB and ~84 ms

Server Response Intelligence

PASS
3 server-response signal(s) detected
Info::
`Cache-Status` header present (RFC 9211): "Netlify Edge"; fwd=miss
The page returns a `Cache-Status` header -- the standardized way for CDNs and caches to communicate per-hop cache state to debugging tools. Format: `Cache-Status: cdn-name; hit; ttl=300` (or `; fwd=miss` / `; fwd=stale`). Standard alternative to vendor-specific `X-Cache` patterns each CDN had historically. Cloudflare, Fastly, and Akamai all support emitting it.
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::
`ETag` present -- conditional GET supported

100% 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.
