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].
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].
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 that are appropriately-sized to save cellular data and improve load time. [Learn how to size images].
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].
Redirects introduce additional delays before the page can be loaded. [Learn how to avoid page redirects].
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].
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]
Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. [Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast].
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].
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].
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].
Reducing the download time of images can improve the perceived load time of the page and LCP. [Learn more about optimizing image size]
Third party code can significantly impact load performance. [Reduce and defer loading of third party code] to prioritize your page's content.
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.
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].
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].
Source maps translate minified code to the original source code. This helps developers debug in production. In addition, Lighthouse is able to provide further insights. Consider deploying source maps to take advantage of these benefits. [Learn more about source maps].
Descriptive link text helps search engines understand your content. [Learn how to make links more accessible].
Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript].
This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint element]
Your first network request is the most important. Reduce its latency by avoiding redirects, ensuring a fast server response, and enabling text compression.
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].
