Displays images with incorrect aspect ratio

Image display dimensions should match natural aspect ratio. [Learn more about image aspect ratio].

Layout shift culprits

Layout shifts occur when elements move absent any user interaction. [Investigate the causes of layout shifts], such as elements being added, removed, or their fonts changing as the page loads.

List items (`<li>`) are not contained within `<ul>`, `<ol>` or `<menu>` parent elements.

Screen readers require list items (`

  • `) to be contained within a parent `
    • LCP request discovery

    Optimize LCP by making the LCP image [discoverable] from the HTML immediately, and [avoiding lazy-loading]

    Lists do not contain only `<li>` elements and script supporting elements (`<script>` and `<template>`).

    Screen readers have a specific way of announcing lists. Ensuring proper list structure aids screen reader output. [Learn more about proper list structure].

    Browser errors were logged to the console

    Errors logged to the console indicate unresolved problems. They can come from network request failures and other browser concerns. [Learn more about this errors in console diagnostic audit]

    Reduce unused JavaScript

    Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript].

    Enable text compression

    Text-based resources should be served with compression (gzip, deflate or brotli) to minimize total network bytes. [Learn more about text compression].

    Properly size images

    Serve images that are appropriately-sized to save cellular data and improve load time. [Learn how to size images].

    Largest Contentful Paint element

    This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint element]

    Eliminate render-blocking resources

    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].

    `[aria-*]` attributes do not match their roles

    Each ARIA `role` supports a specific subset of `aria-*` attributes. Mismatching these invalidates the `aria-*` attributes. [Learn how to match ARIA attributes to their roles].

    `[user-scalable="no"]` is used in the `<meta name="viewport">` element or the `[maximum-scale]` attribute is less than 5.

    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].

    Serve images in next-gen formats

    Image formats like WebP and AVIF often provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption. [Learn more about modern image formats].

    Links do not have a discernible name

    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].

    Does not redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS

    Make sure that you redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS in order to enable secure web features for all your users. [Learn more].

    Reduce unused CSS

    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].

    Minify CSS

    Minifying CSS files can reduce network payload sizes. [Learn how to minify CSS].

    Image elements have `[alt]` attributes that are redundant text.

    Informative elements should aim for short, descriptive alternative text. Alternative text that is exactly the same as the text adjacent to the link or image is potentially confusing for screen reader users, because the text will be read twice. [Learn more about the `alt` attribute].

    Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio.

    Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. [Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast].

    Minify JavaScript

    Minifying JavaScript files can reduce payload sizes and script parse time. [Learn how to minify JavaScript].

    Links are not crawlable

    Search engines may use `href` attributes on links to crawl websites. Ensure that the `href` attribute of anchor elements links to an appropriate destination, so more pages of the site can be discovered. [Learn how to make links crawlable]

    Does not use HTTPS

    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].

    Image elements do not have `[alt]` attributes

    Informative elements should aim for short, descriptive alternate text. Decorative elements can be ignored with an empty alt attribute. [Learn more about the `alt` attribute].

    Avoid large layout shifts

    These are the largest layout shifts observed on the page. Each table item represents a single layout shift, and shows the element that shifted the most. Below each item are possible root causes that led to the layout shift. Some of these layout shifts may not be included in the CLS metric value due to [windowing]. [Learn how to improve CLS]

    Third parties

    Third party code can significantly impact load performance. [Reduce and defer loading of third party code] to prioritize your page's content.
