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].
Optimize LCP by making the LCP image [discoverable] from the HTML immediately, and [avoiding lazy-loading]
Descriptive link text helps search engines understand your content. [Learn how to make links more accessible].
Form elements without effective labels can create frustrating experiences for screen reader users. [Learn more about the `select` element].
When a button doesn't have an accessible name, screen readers announce it as "button", making it unusable for users who rely on screen readers. [Learn how to make buttons more accessible].
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]
Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript].
Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. [Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast].
Labels ensure that form controls are announced properly by assistive technologies, like screen readers. [Learn more about form element labels].
Many HTML elements can only be assigned certain ARIA roles. Using ARIA roles where they are not allowed can interfere with the accessibility of the web page. [Learn more about ARIA roles].
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].
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].
Image display dimensions should match natural aspect ratio. [Learn more about image aspect ratio].
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].
Your first network request is the most important. Reduce its latency by avoiding redirects, ensuring a fast server response, and enabling text compression.
Optimized images load faster and consume less cellular data. [Learn how to efficiently encode images].
This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint element]
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].
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].
Third party code can significantly impact load performance. [Reduce and defer loading of third party code] to prioritize your page's content.
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].
Screen readers have a specific way of announcing lists. Ensuring proper list structure aids screen reader output. [Learn more about proper list structure].
