Fonts are always fetched as crossorigin=anonymous; a preload without the attribute creates a different cache key, so the browser refetches when the actual font request happens. Sample: https://prod-va-gov-assets.s3-us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com/generated/sourcesanspro-bold-webfont.woff2, https://prod-va-gov-assets.s3-us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com/generated/sourcesanspro-regular-webfont.woff2, https://prod-va-gov-assets.s3-us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com/generated/bitter-bold.woff2. Add `crossorigin` (or `crossorigin="anonymous"`) to each preload.

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.
