Minifying JavaScript files can reduce payload sizes and script parse time. [Learn how to minify JavaScript].
Chrome is moving towards a new experience that allows users to choose to browse without third-party cookies. [Learn more about third-party cookies].
All sites should be protected with HTTPS, even ones that don't handle sensitive data. This includes avoiding [mixed content], where some resources are loaded over HTTP despite the initial request being served over HTTPS. HTTPS prevents intruders from tampering with or passively listening in on the communications between your app and your users, and is a prerequisite for HTTP/2 and many new web platform APIs. [Learn more about HTTPS].
Minifying CSS files can reduce network payload sizes. [Learn how to minify CSS].
Some third-party embeds can be lazy loaded. Consider replacing them with a facade until they are required. [Learn how to defer third-parties with a facade].
Resources are blocking the first paint of your page. Consider delivering critical JS/CSS inline and deferring all non-critical JS/styles. [Learn how to eliminate render-blocking resources].
Serve images that are appropriately-sized to save cellular data and improve load time. [Learn how to size images].
Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript].
Polyfills and transforms enable legacy browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. For your bundled JavaScript, adopt a modern script deployment strategy using [module/nomodule feature detection] to reduce the amount of code shipped to modern browsers, while retaining support for legacy browsers. [Learn how to serve modern JavaScript]
Link text (and alternate text for images, when used as links) that is discernible, unique, and focusable improves the navigation experience for screen reader users. [Learn how to make links accessible].
Keep the server response time for the main document short because all other requests depend on it. [Learn more about the Time to First Byte metric].
Properly ordered headings that do not skip levels convey the semantic structure of the page, making it easier to navigate and understand when using assistive technologies. [Learn more about heading order].
Third-party code can significantly impact load performance. Limit the number of redundant third-party providers and try to load third-party code after your page has primarily finished loading. [Learn how to minimize third-party impact].
Issues logged to the `Issues` panel in Chrome Devtools indicate unresolved problems. They can come from network request failures, insufficient security controls, and other browser concerns. Open up the Issues panel in Chrome DevTools for more details on each issue.
Labels ensure that form controls are announced properly by assistive technologies, like screen readers. [Learn more about form element labels].
Your first network request is the most important. Reduce its latency by avoiding redirects, ensuring a fast server response, and enabling text compression.
Disabling zooming is problematic for users with low vision who rely on screen magnification to properly see the contents of a web page. [Learn more about the viewport meta tag].
Consider reducing the time spent parsing, compiling and executing JS. You may find delivering smaller JS payloads helps with this. [Learn how to minimize main-thread work]
Optimize LCP by making the LCP image [discoverable] from the HTML immediately, and [avoiding lazy-loading]
Large GIFs are inefficient for delivering animated content. Consider using MPEG4/WebM videos for animations and PNG/WebP for static images instead of GIF to save network bytes. [Learn more about efficient video formats]
Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. [Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast].
Third party code can significantly impact load performance. [Reduce and defer loading of third party code] to prioritize your page's content.
This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint element]
If your robots.txt file is malformed, crawlers may not be able to understand how you want your website to be crawled or indexed. [Learn more about robots.txt].
Text-based resources should be served with compression (gzip, deflate or brotli) to minimize total network bytes. [Learn more about text compression].
Touch targets with sufficient size and spacing help users who may have difficulty targeting small controls to activate the targets. [Learn more about touch targets].
Reduce unused rules from stylesheets and defer CSS not used for above-the-fold content to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused CSS].
Speed Index shows how quickly the contents of a page are visibly populated. [Learn more about the Speed Index metric].
