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.

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.

100% 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.
