Browsers will use heuristic caching, which can be unpredictable. Set explicit cache headers.
No Cache-Control header
Adding a Cache-Control header can significantly improve repeat-visit performance.

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.

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.
