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].
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]
Speed Index shows how quickly the contents of a page are visibly populated. [Learn more about the Speed Index metric].
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].
This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport. [Learn more about the Largest Contentful Paint element]
Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. [Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript].
Text-based resources should be served with compression (gzip, deflate or brotli) to minimize total network bytes. [Learn more about text compression].
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].
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].
Minifying CSS files can reduce network payload sizes. [Learn how to minify CSS].
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].
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].
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].
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].
Large GIFs are inefficient for delivering animated content. Consider using MPEG4/WebM videos for animations and PNG/WebP for static images instead of GIF to save network bytes. [Learn more about efficient video formats]
Redirects introduce additional delays before the page can be loaded. [Learn how to avoid page redirects].
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].
Serve images that are appropriately-sized to save cellular data and improve load time. [Learn how to size images].
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].
Image display dimensions should match natural aspect ratio. [Learn more about image aspect ratio].
Minifying JavaScript files can reduce payload sizes and script parse time. [Learn how to minify JavaScript].
