What to act on · top recommendations

Add decoding="async" to non-critical images

0 / 100

The page has 1 image (out of 1) without a decoding hint. Add decoding="async" to non-critical images so the browser can decode them off the main thread.

Serve images in modern formats (AVIF, WebP)

0 / 100

The page ships 1 image (out of 1) in JPEG/PNG/GIF without a modern alternative. Wrap them in a <picture> with a <source type="image/avif"> or "image/webp" before the legacy <img>, or serve modern formats from your image pipeline directly. AVIF and WebP usually deliver 25–50% smaller files at the same quality.

Apply the right priority hints to the LCP image

70 / 100

The LCP image is missing fetchpriority="high". Adding it tells the browser to fetch the image with high priority instead of the default heuristic (which often deprioritises hero images that are loaded after the HTML has been parsed).

Visual instability

7.34 % of pixels ever changed · 0 % changed 5+ times
Heatmap of how often each pixel changed while the page loaded

The whole recording in one image: every pixel is tinted by how often it changed. Amber changed once, deep red changed ten or more times. The scale is fixed, so heatmaps from different runs compare directly.

Flat amber is a page that painted once and stayed put. Red speckle in the shape of the text means the same pixels repainted over and over, usually invisible rendering noise that inflates Last Visual Change and Speed Index. A solid red block is a genuinely restless area, like an ad or a carousel.

Frames

How smoothly Chrome delivered frames to the screen during the test. Dropped counts only frames Chrome flags as affecting smoothness. On mostly-static pages the longest gap includes idle time where there was simply nothing to draw.

Why was rendering delayed?

Rendering was not meaningfully delayed. First paint landed at 716 ms on a 424 ms first byte; none of the 1 render-blocking request held it up: it loaded after the paint.

Style recalculation

measured by Chrome during this run

Style the browser had to recalculate before it could paint: many elements or a lot of time spent here points at expensive CSS on the critical rendering path. The recalculation count and the largest single one tell the two problems apart: one massive style change touching most of the page (few recalculations, the largest close to the total) needs different medicine than thousands of tiny ones (many recalculations, each tiny).

Style recalculation is not holding up your paint. 20 ms of restyling before the page painted, 2.8 % of the time to First Contentful Paint. Nothing here needs attention.

Before first & largest contentful paint (same paint, 716 ms)

Recalculations5
Elements1575
Total time19.891 ms
Largest recalculation1303 elements · 16.901 ms

The recalculation work before first paint is 2.8 % of the time to First Contentful Paint.

Render blocking requests

2 requests · 10.6 KB

Blocking requests delay both paints: the browser renders nothing until they arrive, so they push First Contentful Paint and everything after it, including the largest paint (LCP). Requests that block the parser inside the body stall everything after them in the document. Load JavaScript with defer or async, and keep non-critical CSS off the critical path with media attributes. Bars show when each request loaded on a clock that runs to the last paint; the gap after the bars is style and layout work.

Slowest CSS selectorsProfile run

How long Chrome spent testing each CSS selector against the page while recalculating styles. A selector with many match attempts and zero matches is evaluated against the document over and over for rules that never apply.

Not worth optimizing on this page. All selector matching cost 3 ms, and the worst single selector 0.15 ms. The tables are kept for reference.

Style invalidations

Why the browser had to recalculate style and layout: every DOM/style change invalidates some set of nodes, and the same class or attribute churning over and over is the pattern to hunt. Counts, not milliseconds: the time is in the style recalculation numbers above.

Most of this is the page being built. Only 73 style recalculations and 57 layout invalidations happened after first paint; the rest is the first render. Not much to chase here.

5 animations run on the main thread instead of on the browser's fast path that animates without blocking other page work (the compositor); they can make the rendering you see above janky. See them on the CPU tab.

The page has 1 image (out of 1) without a decoding hint. Add decoding="async" to non-critical images so the browser can decode them off the main thread.

Setting decoding="async" on an <img> tells the browser it can decode the image off the main thread, which keeps the page responsive to user interactions while images are being processed.

AVIF and WebP usually deliver 25–50% smaller files at the same quality.

AVIF and WebP routinely deliver 25–50% smaller files than JPEG and PNG at the same perceived quality, and every browser version still under support understands at least one of them. Ship modern formats either through a <picture> element with <source type="image/avif"> / "image/webp" entries in front of the legacy <img>, or directly from a content-negotiating image pipeline that returns AVIF / WebP when the client accepts it. https://web.dev/articles/serve-images-webp

The LCP image is missing fetchpriority="high". Adding it tells the browser to fetch the image with high priority instead of the default heuristic (which often deprioritises hero images that are loaded after the HTML has been parsed).

When the Largest Contentful Paint element is an image, the browser priority hints applied to that element directly affect the LCP metric. The image must NOT be loading="lazy" (that defers the fetch until near-viewport, which is the opposite of what an LCP image needs) and SHOULD be fetchpriority="high" (so the browser fetches it with high priority instead of guessing). https://web.dev/articles/fetch-priority

warn(80)Avoid slowing down the critical rendering pathavoidRenderBlocking

The page has 1 blocking requests and 1 in body parser blocking (2 JavaScript and 0 CSS).

The critical rendering path is what the browser needs to do to start rendering the page. Every file requested inside of the head element will postpone the rendering of the page, because the browser need to do the request. Avoid loading JavaScript synchronously inside of the head (you should not need JavaScript to render the page), request files from the same domain as the main document (to avoid DNS lookups) and inline CSS for really fast rendering and a short rendering path.

warn(80)Avoid CPU Long TaskslongTasks

The page has 1 CPU long task with the total of 153 ms. The total blocking time is 0 ms and 1 long task before first contentful paint with total time of 153 ms. However the CPU Long Task is depending on the computer/phones actual CPU speed, so you should measure this on the same type of the device that your user is using. Use Geckoprofiler for Firefox or Chromes tracelog to debug your long tasks.

Long CPU tasks locks the thread. To the user this is commonly visible as a "locked up" page where the browser is unable to respond to user input; this is a major source of bad user experience on the web today. However the CPU Long Task is depending on the computer/phones actual CPU speed, so you should measure this on the same type of the device that your user is using. To debug you should use the Chrome timeline log and drag/drop it into devtools or use Firefox Geckoprofiler.

infoLong cache headers is goodcacheHeadersLong

The page has 4 requests that have a shorter cache time than one year (but still a cache time).

Setting a cache header is good. Setting a long cache header (a year) is even better because the asset will stay in the browser cache across visits. For content-hashed URLs (e.g. app.4af2.css) you can safely use Cache-Control: max-age=31536000, immutable. For unversioned URLs that may change, use a revalidating strategy instead.

warn(50)Set a sensible viewport meta tagviewport

The viewport meta tag does not contain width=device-width, the browser may use a desktop-width fallback.

The viewport meta tag tells the browser how to lay out the page on small screens. Without it (or without width=device-width) the page is rendered at a desktop fallback width and scaled down, which makes text unreadable on mobile. Disabling zoom (user-scalable=no, maximum-scale<=1) is also an accessibility regression. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_meta_tag

No <meta name="referrer"> tag was found on the page. Set a Referrer-Policy response header (preferred) or add a meta tag, for example <meta name="referrer" content="strict-origin-when-cross-origin">.

Without an explicit referrer policy the browser falls back to the user-agent default and may leak the full URL of the previous page (including query strings) to every cross-origin request. Set a Referrer-Policy response header (preferred) or a <meta name="referrer"> tag in the document. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy

warn(0)Use a strict Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.contentSecurityPolicyHeader

Set a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting attacks. You can start with a Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only header, which only reports violations rather than blocking them.

A Content-Security-Policy response header tells the browser which sources of script, style, and other content are allowed. The most effective form is a strict CSP using nonces or hashes together with strict-dynamic; the worst is a missing header, with unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval close behind. https://web.dev/articles/strict-csp

Set a Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header (typically require-corp or credentialless) on the document response to control cross-origin embedding.

Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy (COEP) makes the page refuse to load cross-origin subresources unless they explicitly opt in via CORP or CORS. Together with Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy it puts the page in a cross-origin isolated context, which mitigates cross-window side-channel attacks (Spectre) and unlocks high-resolution timers and SharedArrayBuffer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy (COOP) lets a page sever its window-group ties to cross-origin documents that opened it or that it opens. Together with Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy it puts the page in a cross-origin isolated context, which mitigates cross-window side-channel attacks (Spectre) and unlocks high-resolution timers and SharedArrayBuffer. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy

Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy (CORP) is a per-response opt-in that tells the browser which origins are allowed to embed the resource. It blocks cross-origin or cross-site no-cors embedding (img, script, iframe, etc.) and is one of the building blocks of cross-origin isolation. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy

CoverageProfile run

JavaScript and CSS coverage from the extra profile run made by --enableProfileRun, not from the timed iterations. For JS, Chrome tracks which blocks of each script actually ran: a byte is unused when the innermost block of code around it never ran. For CSS, Chrome records every selector that no element on the page matched during the iteration. Enable with --chrome.coverage on every run, or --enableProfileRun to keep the main run's timing metrics untouched. Unused bytes still cost network, parse and compile time for no benefit. Expand the section below for the full picture.

How is "unused" calculated?

sitespeed.io drives Chrome's V8 profiler and CSS rule tracker via the DevTools Protocol, the same machinery the DevTools Coverage panel uses. The two columns are populated by two different mechanisms.

JavaScript

Browsertime calls Profiler.startPreciseCoverage with detailed (block-level) mode at the start of the iteration and Profiler.takePreciseCoverage at the end. V8 returns nested ranges per function: an outer range covering the function body and inner ranges for sub-blocks (if/else, switch arms, ternaries). Each range has an execution count. A byte is "used" if the innermost range that covers it has count > 0, "unused" if it has count = 0, so we catch both functions that never ran AND dead branches inside functions that did.

CSS

Browsertime calls CSS.startRuleUsageTracking at the start of the iteration and CSS.stopRuleUsageTracking at the end. Chrome returns a flat list of rule-text ranges with a used flag: a rule is "used" if at least one element on the page matched it during the iteration. Both inline <style> blocks and external stylesheets are included.

What "this iteration" means

Coverage reflects only what executed during this run. Code behind a button click stays unused unless the iteration clicked the button. The collection window opens before navigation and closes when measure.stop() is reached, so the only way to count interactions is to drive them between measure.start() and measure.stop() inside a navigation script (pass a .js file as the input instead of a plain URL). Clicks, form fills and waits placed there all count toward "used". --preScript runs before the URL is loaded so it can't interact with the page being measured, and --postScript runs after coverage has already been collected, so neither helps here. Detailed coverage also tells V8 to skip some optimisations, which drifts timing metrics like LCP and TBT; that's why --enableProfileRun is the safer option for production measurement (it collects coverage in a separate iteration that doesn't count towards the medians).

What to do about unused bytes

one iteration is a sample, not a verdict

A high unused-% on one run means this iteration loaded code that didn't get exercised, typical on first-load journeys before any user interaction. Drive the real flow by passing a navigation script as the input instead of a plain URL, with clicks and form fills placed between measure.start() and measure.stop(); anything in that window counts toward "used". The advice below is for code that's still unused after a representative run.

JavaScript

  • Route-split and lazy-load below-the-fold features with dynamic import(). Bundlers turn the import boundary into a separate chunk.
  • Audit big bundles for dead exports, legacy polyfills, and feature flags that no longer ship; most modern bundlers tree-shake but only when imports are precise.
  • Question third-party scripts. Tag managers, analytics SDKs and A/B test loaders often ship far more than the page uses and dominate the third-party column above.
  • Move non-critical scripts to defer or async so the parser doesn't block on code the page doesn't need yet.

CSS

  • Strip selectors no shipped HTML matches: PurgeCSS, build-time scoping in your component framework, or your CSS-in-JS extractor.
  • Drop legacy browser fallbacks if your target floor has moved (vendor prefixes, IE hacks, old flexbox syntax).
  • Split route- or component-specific CSS so the home page doesn't carry the checkout's styles.
  • Inline the critical-path CSS (above-the-fold) and lazy-load the rest with media= tricks or rel="preload" swaps.

Long Animation Frames

A long animation frame (LOAF) is a frame that took ≥ 50 ms from input to the next paint. The part beyond the threshold is blocking time, the number that hurts Interaction to Next Paint and Total Blocking Time. Break long tasks up (scheduler.yield(), smaller chunks) or move the work off the main thread. Read more about the Long Animation Frames API.

The browser did not report which script was responsible for this frame — typically its own style/layout work, or a cross-origin script it will not name.

Blocking time per script (trace)

Total Blocking Time attributed per script from the Chrome trace: every main-thread task longer than 50 ms blocks input for the remainder, and each blocking task is credited to the script whose own code ran the longest during that task.

Non-composited animations

Animations that fell back from the compositor to the main thread, blocking each frame instead of running on the GPU.

Each chip below is a CSS property the page tried to animate that Chrome couldn't hand to the compositor. Swap it for a transform or opacity equivalent where you can.
