Animations which are not composited can be janky and increase CLS

Sum of all time periods between FCP and Time to Interactive, when task length exceeded 50ms, expressed in milliseconds

A long cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page

Keep the server response time for the main document short because all other requests depend on it

These DOM elements contribute most to the CLS of the page

Large network payloads cost users real money and are highly correlated with long load times

Optimized images load faster and consume less cellular data

Image formats like WebP and AVIF often provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption

Service worker is the technology that enables your app to use many Progressive Web App features, such as offline, add to homescreen, and push notifications. With proper service worker and manifest implementations, browsers can proactively prompt users to add your app to their homescreen, which can lead to higher engagement

Largest Contentful Paint marks the time at which the largest text or image is painted

Resources are blocking the first paint of your page. Consider delivering critical JS/CSS inline and deferring all non-critical JS/styles

Consider reducing the time spent parsing, compiling, and executing JS. You may find delivering smaller JS payloads helps with this

This is the largest contentful element painted within the viewport

A large DOM will increase memory usage, cause longer [style calculations](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/rendering/reduce-the-scope-and-complexity-of-style-calculations), and produce costly [layout reflows](https://developers.google.com/speed/articles/reflow)

All sites should be protected with HTTPS, even ones that don't handle sensitive data. This includes avoiding [mixed content](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/security/prevent-mixed-content/what-is-mixed-content), where some resources are loaded over HTTP despite the initial request being served over HTTPS. HTTPS prevents intruders from tampering with or passively listening in on the communications between your app and your users, and is a prerequisite for HTTP/2 and many new web platform APIs

Third-party code can significantly impact load performance. Limit the number of redundant third-party providers and try to load third-party code after your page has primarily finished loading

First Meaningful Paint measures when the primary content of a page is visible

Consider reducing the time spent parsing, compiling and executing JS. You may find delivering smaller JS payloads helps with this

Cumulative Layout Shift measures the movement of visible elements within the viewport

Network round trip times (RTT) have a large impact on performance. If the RTT to an origin is high, it's an indication that servers closer to the user could improve performance

The maximum potential First Input Delay that your users could experience is the duration of the longest task

Server latencies can impact web performance. If the server latency of an origin is high, it's an indication the server is overloaded or has poor backend performance

First Contentful Paint marks the time at which the first text or image is painted

The Critical Request Chains below show you what resources are loaded with a high priority. Consider reducing the length of chains, reducing the download size of resources, or deferring the download of unnecessary resources to improve page load

Speed Index shows how quickly the contents of a page are visibly populated

Time to Interactive is the amount of time it takes for the page to become fully interactive

Optimized images load faster and consume less cellular data

A long cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page

Time to Interactive is the amount of time it takes for the page to become fully interactive

Keep the server response time for the main document short because all other requests depend on it

Consider lazy-loading offscreen and hidden images after all critical resources have finished loading to lower time to interactive

Font sizes less than 12px are too small to be legible and require mobile visitors to “pinch to zoom” in order to read. Strive to have >60% of page text ≥12px

The maximum potential First Input Delay that your users could experience is the duration of the longest task

Largest Contentful Paint marks the time at which the largest text or image is painted

Interactive elements like buttons and links should be large enough (48x48px), or have enough space around them, to be easy enough to tap without overlapping onto other elements

Image formats like WebP and AVIF often provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption
