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.

Subset fonts to include only used characters, or switch to system font stacks.
Why this matters
Font payload is large — subset to used glyphs only, or fall back to system fonts (zero load time).

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 ~135 KB and ~270 ms

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.

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

74% of www.utoronto.ca's code is unused. The script may be loading features you don't use.
Why this matters
Bundle has high unused-code ratio — tree-shaking and route-splitting recover the wasted bytes.
