If a page doesn't specify a `lang` attribute, a screen reader assumes that the page is in the default language that the user chose when setting up the screen reader. If the page isn't actually in the default language, then the screen reader might not announce the page's text correctly. [Learn more about the `lang` attribute].
Third party code can significantly impact load performance. [Reduce and defer loading of third party code] to prioritize your page's content.
Specifying a doctype prevents the browser from switching to quirks-mode. [Learn more about the doctype declaration].
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 JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript].
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]
Deprecated APIs will eventually be removed from the browser. [Learn more about deprecated APIs].
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.
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]
Optimize LCP by making the LCP image [discoverable] from the HTML immediately, and [avoiding lazy-loading]
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]
Largest Contentful Paint marks the time at which the largest text or image is painted. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint metric]
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].
This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint element]
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].
Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. [Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast].
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].
Optimized images load faster and consume less cellular data. [Learn how to efficiently encode images].
Descriptive link text helps search engines understand your content. [Learn how to make links more accessible].
Image display dimensions should match natural aspect ratio. [Learn more about image aspect ratio].
Screen reader users rely on frame titles to describe the contents of frames. [Learn more about frame titles].
Serve images that are appropriately-sized to save cellular data and improve load time. [Learn how to size images].
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].
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].
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].
