Is it Quick?

Not bad... This site was quick to connect and deliver initial code. It began rendering content very quickly. The largest contentful paint time was slower than ideal.

WebPageTest ran 13 diagnostic checks related to this category and found 7 opportunities.

  1. This test had a reasonably quick first-byte time.

    A fast time to first byte is essential for delivering assets quickly.

    • Zero render-blocking JavaScript files found.

      Great job. Fewer render-blocking requests mean the browser can visibly render content sooner.

      • Zero render-blocking CSS files found.

        Great job. Fewer render-blocking requests mean the browser can visibly render content sooner.

        • Largest Contentful Paint is high (over 2.5s).

          The element driving your LCP is a background image. Some optimizations can help that image fetch earlier.

          • Preload LCP Image

            This experiment adds a <link rel="preload" as="image" href="https://pbs.twimg.com/semantic_core_img/1571782705104273408/ppDyG0ra?format=jpg&name=small"> to the head of your HTML document, causing browsers to request the image earlier and at a higher priority than it otherwise might.

          • Zero render-critical images are lazy-loaded.

            When images are lazy-loaded using loading="lazy", they will be requested after the layout is established, which is too late for images in the critical window.

            • Images outside the critical viewport can be lazy-loaded.

              When images are lazy-loaded using loading="lazy", when they scroll into the viewport, freeing up early load for other tasks.

              • Several fonts are loaded with settings that hide text while they are loading.

                When fonts are loaded with default display settings, like font-display="block", browsers will hide text entirely for several seconds instead of showing text with a fallback font.

              • 4 fonts are hosted on 3rd-party hosts

                Fonts on 3rd party domains may take longer to load due to DNS and connection steps that are not necessary when fonts are hosted on the same domain.

                  This experiment will fetch specified files server-side and reference them on the same domain. Note: the overrides happen at the host level, so any requests from that host will now be self-hosted.

                • 1 resource is being preloaded, but is not used during page load.

                  Preloaded resources are fetched at a high priority, delaying the arrival of other resources in the page. In the case where a preloaded resource is never actually used by the page, that means potentially critical requests will be delayed, slowing down the initial loading of your site.

                  • This site uses a CDN for delivering its files.

                    A Content Delivery Network (CDN) distributes a website's files throughout the world, reducing request latency.

                    • 7 static files have inadequate cache settings.

                      Cache settings can instruct browsers and intermediaries to store recent versions of a site's static files (JavaScript, CSS, Images, fonts...) for reuse, reducing page weight and latency.

                      • Zero requests were found that resulted in an HTTP redirect.

                        HTTP redirects can result in additional DNS resolution, TCP connection and HTTPS negotiation times, making them very costly for performance, particularly on high latency networks.

                        • Final HTML (DOM) size is significantly larger than initially delivered HTML (74.83kb larger, or 38.14% of total HTML).

                          Typically this is due to over-reliance on JavaScript for generating content, but increases can also happen as a result of browsers normalizing HTML structure as well. When critical HTML content is generated with JavaScript in the browser, several performance bottlenecks can arise:

                          • Before content can be generated client-side, the browser must first parse, evaluate, and sometimes also request JavaScript over the network. These steps occur after the HTML is initially delivered, and can incur long delays depending on the device.
                          • If the generated HTML contains references to external assets (images for example), the browser will not be able to discover and request them as early as desired.

                          • Mimic Pre-rendered HTML

                            This experiment mimics server-generated HTML by swapping the initial HTML with the fully rendered HTML from this test run. Note: this will very likely break site behavior, but is potentially useful for comparing early metrics and assessing whether moving logic to the server is worth the effort.

                          Needs Improvement. This site took a long time to become interactive. It had accessibility issues, none serious.

                          WebPageTest ran 5 diagnostic checks related to this category and found 4 opportunities.

                          1. Layout shifts exist and may be caused by images missing aspect ratio.

                            The CLS score is 0.001. 5 layout-critical images are lacking an aspect ratio, meaning the browser has no way of knowing how tall or wide an image is until it loads. This can cause content to shift as the image loads.

                              When files block the main thread, users are unable to interact with the page content. Typically, parsing and executing large JavaScript files, as well as running long JavaScript tasks can block the main thread and should be avoided. These files had high thread blocking times:

                                    Typically this is due to over-reliance on JavaScript for generating content, but increases can also happen as a result of browsers normalizing HTML structure as well. When critical HTML content is generated with JavaScript in the browser, it can increase the time it takes for content to be made accessible to assistive technology such as screen readers.

                                    • Look for ways to deliver more HTML content from the start

                                      Many modern frameworks offer patterns for generating useful HTML on the server.

                                    Is it Resilient?

                                    Not bad... This site had no security issues detected.

                                    WebPageTest ran 4 diagnostic checks related to this category and found 1 opportunities.

                                    1. Zero render-blocking third-party requests found.

                                      By default, references to external JavaScript and CSS files will block the page from rendering. Third-party blocking requests are particularly risky, as your page's access relies on their response time and availability.

Common issues such as JavaScript errors and third-party network delays and outages can present potential single points of failure.

                                                  This experiment adds a defer attribute to render-blocking scripts, causing the browser to fetch them in parallel while showing the page. Deferred scripts still execute in the order they are defined in source.

                                                  This experiment adds width="..." and height="..." attributes to specified images, matching their natural width and height, to provide an aspect ratio.

                                                  This experiment embeds the contents of specified external scripts or stylesheets directly into the HTML. This increases the size of the HTML, but can often allow page page to display sooner by avoiding server round trips. Note: The inline experiment may break relative references to images and other assets inside the file. These would need proper path changes or absolute URLs in production.

                                                  This experiment removes specified unused preloads from the page, allowing other critical resources to be requested earlier.
