Avoid multiple page redirects

Redirects introduce additional delays before the page can be loaded. [Learn how to avoid page redirects].

Reduce initial server response time

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].

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

Visible text labels that do not match the accessible name can result in a confusing experience for screen reader users. [Learn more about accessible names].

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]

Links do not have descriptive text

Descriptive link text helps search engines understand your content. [Learn how to make links more accessible].

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].

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]

Properly size images

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

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].

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].

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].

Select elements do not have associated label elements.

Form elements without effective labels can create frustrating experiences for screen reader users. [Learn more about the `select` element].

Render blocking requests

Requests are blocking the page's initial render, which may delay LCP. [Deferring or inlining] can move these network requests out of the critical path.

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].

Document request latency

Your first network request is the most important. Reduce its latency by avoiding redirects, ensuring a fast server response, and enabling text compression.

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].

Third parties

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

Largest Contentful Paint element

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

Efficiently encode images

Optimized images load faster and consume less cellular data. [Learn how to efficiently encode images].

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].

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.

Displays images with incorrect aspect ratio

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

Avoid serving legacy JavaScript to modern browsers

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]

Improve image delivery

Reducing the download time of images can improve the perceived load time of the page and LCP. [Learn more about optimizing image size]

Heading elements are not in a sequentially-descending order

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].

LCP request discovery

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

Defer offscreen images

Consider lazy-loading offscreen and hidden images after all critical resources have finished loading to lower time to interactive. [Learn how to defer offscreen images].
