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].
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].
This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint element]
A large DOM will increase memory usage, cause longer [style calculations], and produce costly [layout reflows]. [Learn how to avoid an excessive DOM size].
Third party code can significantly impact load performance. [Reduce and defer loading of third party code] to prioritize your page's content.
Optimize LCP by making the LCP image [discoverable] from the HTML immediately, and [avoiding lazy-loading]
Optimized images load faster and consume less cellular data. [Learn how to efficiently encode images].
Serve images that are appropriately-sized to save cellular data and improve load time. [Learn how to size images].
Image display dimensions should match natural aspect ratio. [Learn more about image aspect ratio].
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 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].
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]
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].
Redirects introduce additional delays before the page can be loaded. [Learn how to avoid page redirects].
Form elements without effective labels can create frustrating experiences for screen reader users. [Learn more about the `select` element].
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].
Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript].
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].
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]
Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. [Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast].
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.
Descriptive link text helps search engines understand your content. [Learn how to make links more accessible].
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].
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].
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.
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]
Reducing the download time of images can improve the perceived load time of the page and LCP. [Learn more about optimizing image size]
