warn(0)Serve images in modern formats (AVIF, WebP)modernImageFormats

The page ships 29 images (out of 29) 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.

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

warn(0)Avoid extra requests by setting cache headerscacheHeaders

The page has 36 requests that are missing a cache time. Configure a cache time so the browser doesn't need to download them every time. It will save 348.2 kB the next access.

The easiest way to make your page fast is to avoid doing requests to the server. Setting a cache header on your server response will tell the browser that it doesn't need to download the asset again during the configured cache time! Always try to set a cache time if the content doesn't change for every request.

Offenders
warn(9)Lazy-load below-the-fold imageslazyLoadingImages

The page has 21 below-the-fold images 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

Offenders
warn(60)Don't scale images in the browseravoidScalingImages

The page has 4 images that are scaled more than 100 pixels. It would be better if those images are sent so the browser don't need to scale them.

It's easy to scale images in the browser and make sure they look good in different devices, however that is bad for performance! Scaling images in the browser takes extra CPU time and will hurt performance on mobile. And the user will download extra kilobytes (sometimes megabytes) of data that could be avoided. Don't do that, make sure you create multiple version of the same image server-side and serve the appropriate one.

Offenders
infoAdd decoding="async" to non-critical imagesdecodingAsync

The page has 6 images (out of 34) 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. The default ("auto") leaves the choice to the browser. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#decoding

Try to keep each CSS response under 25 kB.

Render-blocking CSS holds up the first paint until it has fully downloaded, parsed and applied, so smaller CSS files mean a faster start. Split your CSS into a small critical bundle inlined or eagerly loaded, with the rest lazy-loaded.

warn(90)Don't use private headers on static contentprivateAssets

The page has 2 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.

Offenders
infoLong cache headers is goodcacheHeadersLong

The page has 7 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)Avoid slowing down the critical rendering pathavoidRenderBlocking

Make the file smaller and the page will render faster. The page has 1 render blocking CSS request and 0 blocking JavaScript request inside of head.

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.

Offenders
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.

error(0)Cumulative Layout ShiftcumulativeLayoutShift

Layout Shift is not supported in this browser

Cumulative Layout Shift measures the sum total of all individual layout shift scores for unexpected layout shift that occur. The metric is measuring visual stability by quantify how often users experience unexpected layout shifts. It is one of Google Web Vitals.

infoGive every image a textual alternativeimageAltText

The page has 12 images without an alt attribute. Add alt="..." with a description, or alt="" if the image is purely decorative.

Every <img> needs an alt attribute. Use alt="meaningful description" for content images so assistive technologies can announce them, or alt="" (or role="presentation" / aria-hidden="true") for purely decorative images so they are skipped. A missing alt attribute leaves screen reader users with no information at all. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#alt

Offenders
infoMeta descriptionmetaDescription

The page is missing a meta description.

Use a page description to make the page more relevant to search engines.

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

infoAvoid unnecessary headersunnecessaryHeaders

There are 10 responses that sets both a max-age and expires header. There are 37 responses that sets a server header.

Do not send headers that you don't need. We look for p3p, cache-control and max-age, pragma, server and x-frame-options headers. Have a look at Andrew Betts - Headers for Hackers talk as a guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k92ZbrY815c or read https://www.fastly.com/blog/headers-we-dont-want.

infoSet a Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy header so cross-origin subresources opt in to being embedded.crossOriginEmbedderPolicyHeader

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

Offenders
warn(0)Set a Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header to isolate the page from cross-origin windows.crossOriginOpenerPolicyHeader

Set a Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header (typically same-origin) on the document response to isolate the page from cross-origin windows.

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

Offenders
infoSet a Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header to limit who may embed the page.crossOriginResourcePolicyHeader

Set a Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header (same-origin, same-site or cross-origin) on the document response to limit who may embed it.

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

Offenders
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

Offenders
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/.

Offenders
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
