What to act on · top recommendations

Avoid CPU Long Tasks

0 / 100

The page has 12 CPU long tasks with the total of 2.885 s. The total blocking time is 2.108 s and 2 long tasks before first contentful paint with total time of 277 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.

Serve images in modern formats (AVIF, WebP)

0 / 100

The page ships 50 images (out of 50) 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.

Total JavaScript size shouldn't be too big

0 / 100

The total JavaScript transfer size is 364.3 kB and the uncompressed size is 1.5 MB. This is totally crazy! There is really room for improvement here.

Visual instability

99.79 % of pixels ever changed · 0.21 % 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.

Why was rendering delayed?

The server dominated the wait. The first byte took 1.018 s (45 % of the time to First Contentful Paint). Nothing can render before it arrives, and Google Web Vitals considers a TTFB over 800 ms in need of improvement. See the request timing on the Waterfall tab. First paint landed at 2.268 s; the 2 render-blocking requests were done by 1.921 s and the remaining ~347 ms is style and layout work (53 ms of it measured style recalculation). The largest paint followed at 2.480 s.

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. 53 ms of restyling before the page painted, 2.4 % of the time to First Contentful Paint. Nothing here needs attention.

Render blocking requests

3 requests · 50.0 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 dashed line is FCP, the clock ends at LCP); 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 94 ms under the 7× CPU throttle, roughly 13 ms real time, and the worst single selector 24.61 ms. The tables are kept for reference.

Style invalidationsProfile run

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.

Chase what keeps changing after the page is up. 331 style recalculations and 1 016 layout invalidations fired after first paint, on a page the user was already looking at. The biggest driver is attribute title (466×). Start with the script under "Scripts causing invalidations" that keeps triggering it.

The easiest way to make your page fast is to avoid doing requests to the server.

warn(70)Don't use private headers on static contentprivateAssets

The page has 4 requests with private headers. The main page has a private header. It could be right in some cases where the user can be logged in and served specific content. But if your asset is static it should never be private. Make sure that the assets really should be private and only used by one user. Otherwise, make it cacheable for everyone.

If you set private headers on content, that means that the content are specific for that user. Static content should be able to be cached and used by everyone. Avoid setting the cache header to private.

infoLong cache headers is goodcacheHeadersLong

The page has 20 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(95)Inline CSS for faster first renderinlineCss

The page has both inline CSS and CSS requests even though it uses a HTTP/2-ish connection. If you have many users on slow connections, it can be better to only inline the CSS. Run your own tests and check the waterfall graph to see what happens.

In the early days of the Internet, inlining CSS was one of the ugliest things you can do. That has changed if you want your page to start rendering fast for your user. Always inline the critical CSS when you use HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 (avoid doing CSS requests that block rendering) and lazy load and cache the rest of the CSS. It is a little more complicated when using HTTP/2. Does your server support HTTP push? Then maybe that can help. Do you have a lot of users on a slow connection and are serving large chunks of HTML? Then it could be better to use the inline technique, becasue some servers always prioritize HTML content over CSS so the user needs to download the HTML first, before the CSS is downloaded.

warn(98)Lazy-load below-the-fold imageslazyLoadingImages

The page has 1 below-the-fold image without loading="lazy". Add loading="lazy" so the browser defers downloading and decoding them until the user scrolls them into view.

Adding loading="lazy" to an <img> tells the browser not to download or decode it until it is close to the viewport. For images that the user may never see (deep in the page, behind a tab, in a footer carousel), this saves bandwidth and main-thread time during initial render. The LCP image and any image in the initial viewport should NOT be lazy-loaded — that delays the first paint. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#loading

warn(99)Avoid slowing down the critical rendering pathavoidRenderBlocking

The page has 2 blocking requests and 0 in body parser blocking (0 JavaScript and 2 CSS). There are 1 potentially render blocking requests. You need to verify if it is render blocking: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/w/load.php?lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&raw=1&skin=minerva

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.

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

warn(0)Set a Permissions-Policy header to control which browser features the page can use.permissionsPolicyHeader

Set a Permissions-Policy header to control which browser features the page can use.

The Permissions-Policy response header (the successor to Feature-Policy) lets a site explicitly opt in or out of powerful browser features such as camera, microphone, geolocation, payment and clipboard. Setting a strict policy reduces the attack surface and limits what embedded third parties can do. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Permissions-Policy

warn(0)Set a referrer-policy header to make sure you do not leak user information.referrerPolicyHeader

Set a referrer-policy header to make sure you do not leak user information.

Referrer Policy is a new header that allows a site to control how much information the browser includes with navigations away from a document and should be set by all sites. https://scotthelme.co.uk/a-new-security-header-referrer-policy/.

error(0)Set a strict transport header to make sure the user always use HTTPS.strictTransportSecurityHeader

Set a strict transport header to make sure the user always use HTTPS.

The HTTP Strict-Transport-Security response header (often abbreviated as HSTS) lets a web site tell browsers that it should only be accessed using HTTPS, instead of using HTTP. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Strict-Transport-Security.

warn(30)Use a strict Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.contentSecurityPolicyHeader

The policy allows 'unsafe-inline', which lets the browser execute inline scripts and styles directly from the page. Move to nonces or hashes plus 'strict-dynamic' so that inline injection cannot run. The policy allows 'unsafe-eval', which lets the page call eval() and Function(). Almost no application needs this; remove it.

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

warn(60)Avoid third party cookies that is used to track the user.thirdPartyCookies

Cumulative Layout Shift

How much the page's content shifts as it loads, collected via the Cumulative Layout Shift API.

0.101cumulative layout shift score

One shift is 100% of your 0.101 CLS. div#bodyContent moved at 3.950 s. Reserve space for whatever renders into that spot, a fixed height or an aspect-ratio box, so later content stops pushing the page around.

Elements that shifted

Worst first, showing shifts of 0.01 and up. Each percentage is that shift's exact share of the score.

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.

CPU

load.php[scripts:ext.centralNotice.bannerHistoryLogger] is responsible for 51% of blocking time
898 ms of 1771 ms total. Defer it, replace it with a lighter alternative, or move its work off the main thread to recover most of your TBT.

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.

1 more long frame carried no blocking time (nothing ran past the 50 ms threshold) — long, but harmless to INP and TBT.

Blocking time per script (browser-reported)

How much each script blocked the main thread, derived from the Long Animation Frame API. Each frame's blocking time is split between its scripts by their share of the frame's work, capped at each script's own run time — blocking from work no script owns (HTML parsing, browser internals) is not attributed (older data credits the script that started the frame). The closest answer to "which script should I fix to improve TBT" the platform exposes.

CPU time per script

CPU time per moduleProfile run

Main-thread CPU time attributed to the individual modules inside concatenated JavaScript bundles (MediaWiki ResourceLoader), so a heavy bundle can be traced to the modules that actually cost the time.

The data comes from the extra profile run, not from the timed iterations.

Slowest JS functions

The functions where main-thread JavaScript time was actually spent, sampled by Chrome's JavaScript profiler. Self time is spent in the function itself; total time includes the functions it called. For loader/dispatcher functions whose total dwarfs their self time, the runs line shows the top functions and modules (up to five, ≥ 1 ms) the total was actually spent running.

Forced reflows

A forced reflow happens when JavaScript reads a layout-triggering property (offsetTop, getBoundingClientRect, …) inside a handler, forcing the browser to synchronously recompute layout. The scripts below caused most of the page's reflows. Fix them in priority order.

Scripts causing reflows

5 reflows ≥ 2 ms across 2 scripts

Forced layout per script

Each long animation frame reports how much time each script spent forcing synchronous style and layout, i.e. JavaScript reading layout-triggering properties mid-execution. Same actionable answer as forced reflows above but measured directly by the browser instead of inferred from the trace.

Non-composited animations

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

Why they could not be composited

1 animation
  • animation has no visible change

The reason decides the action: “animation has no visible change” means Chrome skipped compositing because nothing visible moves — harmless. Property-related reasons mean the keyframes animate something other than transform or opacity.
