Load time2971 ms
Also known as the document complete time, it’s the time from the initial request until the browser load event. It can vary based on server location, device, browser, and third-party apps. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
Page load is fast enough on 3G
A fast page load over a 3G network ensures a good mobile user experience. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
First byte1916 ms
The time from the initial request to the first byte of the response. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
First Contentful Paint1213.347 ms
First contentful paint marks the time at which the first text/image is painted. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
First meaningful paint1213.347 ms
First meaningful paint measures when the primary content of a page is visible. It's essentially the paint after which the biggest above-the-fold layout change has happened, and web fonts have loaded. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Estimated Input Latency12 ms (target < 50 ms)
The score above is an estimate of how long your app takes to respond to user input, in milliseconds. There is a 90% probability that a user encounters this amount of latency, or less. 10% of the time a user can expect additional latency. If your score is higher than Lighthouse's target score (< 50ms), users may perceive your app as laggy. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Uses persistent connections (keep alive)Score: 100%
Closing connections are a missed opportunity for performance enhancement: additional round-trips between the user and the server to initiate a connection is redundant and time-consuming. Keep-Alive measures the effectiveness of connection reuse. The purpose of this grade is to evaluate the extent to which requests are inefficiently reopening connections. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
First CPU Idle1213.35 ms
First CPU Idle marks the first time at which the page's main thread is quiet enough to handle input. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Time to Interactive1213.35 ms
Interactive marks the time at which the page is fully interactive. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Page weight
Uses compression (gzip, zopfli, deflate, brotli)Score: 100%
This rule triggers when detecting that compressible resources were served without gzip compression. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
Uses a CDN for all static assetsScore: 0%
Each request for a piece of content to the web server has to travel from the user's browser all the way to the server and back. A content delivery network (CDN) is a system for distributing resources to servers geographically closer to users. The main benefit of this is that the round-trip time is faster. The passing grade for using a CDN effectively is to have at least 80% of static resources served from a CDN. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
Leverage browser caching
Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network. Source: PageSpeed Insights - Learn more

Avoids an excessive DOM size76 nodes
Number of elements in the document. Browser engineers recommend pages contain fewer than ~1,500 DOM nodes. The sweet spot is a tree depth < 32 elements and fewer than 60 children/parent element. A large DOM can increase memory usage, cause longer style calculations, and produce costly layout reflows. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more

Compressed Images
The image compression check just looks at photo images and makes sure the quality isn't set too high. Images can usually be compressed pretty substantially without any noticeable reduction in visual quality. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Uses Progressive JPEGsn/a
A progressive JPEG is image created using the JPEG suite of compression algorithms that will 'fade in' in successive waves of lines until the entire image has completely arrived. They show the entire image right away, looking slightly pixelated until the image data is fully loaded. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more

First impression
Eliminates render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
This rule triggers when detecting that your HTML references a blocking external resource / file in the above-the-fold portion of your page. Source: PageSpeed Insights - Learn more about JS - Learn more about CSS
Improves server response time
This rule triggers when detecting that your server response time is above 200 ms. Server response time measures how long it takes to load the necessary HTML to begin rendering the page from your server, subtracting out the network latency between Google and your server. Source: PageSpeed Insights - Learn more
Avoids landing page redirects
Redirects trigger an additional HTTP request-response cycle and delay page rendering. In the best case, each redirect will add a single round trip (HTTP request-response), and in the worst it may result in multiple additional roundtrips to perform the DNS lookup, TCP handshake, and TLS negotiation in addition to the additional HTTP request-response cycle. As a result, you should minimize use of redirects to improve site performance. Source: PageSpeed Insights - Learn more
Usability 83/100 Industry: Agency / Portfolio
Brand logo linked to homepageNot applicable
Fails if doesn't have a logo or clicking it doesn't lead you to homepage.
No ending trailing paths
Fails if doesn't provide at least one of the following: main navigation options on footers, fixed or 'smart' headers/burger-icon, Back to top or close buttons.
Active section is highlighted in navigation menus
Fails if current section or page is not visually highlighted in navigation menus, except for internal section pages where it's accepted not to highlight the parent section.
Listing/overview pages with many items implements deferred loading techniquesNot applicable
Fails if the website doesn't provide at least one of the following: lazy-loading, load more buttons, paginator. Doesn't provide a clear reference about the total amount of items in a portfolio or blog page.
Prevent layout shiftings when loading media. Set width and height attributes on both <img> and <video> tags
Fails if transitioning from placeholders to final images changes the rendered size of the element as media loads. Not using a solid color placeholder occupying the same dimensions as the target image, or techniques such as LQIP or SQIP that hint at the content of a media item before it loads. These changes can be disorienting for users and trigger expensive DOM layout operations that consume system resources and contribute to jank.
The case listing page is not the only way to browse through all the cases
Fails if doesn't provide at least one of the following: next/prev case buttons, related cases listing, or any other way to keep browsing without going back and forth to the listing page.
Carousels are generally avoided (but they are acceptable if they are well implemented)
Fails if any of the following are seen: carousels auto-rotate, text is not legible, swipe is not supported, next images do not load within 1 second of swipe.
Make it easy to contact you
Fails if the website does not provide all of the following: easy to find contact options, tap to call, mailto on emails, addresses do not link to gMaps, except being embedded.
The most appropriate keyboard for the input type is provided firstNot applicable
Fails if most helpful keyboard not provided, i.e. input types text, tel, email, password, capitalization when appropiate, etc.
All mistakes made in forms are clearly highlighted in real time, and instructions for correct completion are provided in real timeNot applicable
Fails if mistakes and guidance for correct completion are not highlighted in real time and/or error messages are ambiguous or unfriendly.

Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Redirects HTTP traffic to HTTPS
If you've already set up HTTPS, make sure that you redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Uses HTTP/2 for its own resources10 requests not served via HTTP/2
HTTP/2 offers many benefits over HTTP/1.1, including binary headers, multiplexing, and server push. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Uses passive listeners to improve scrolling performance
Mark your touch and wheel event listeners as `passive` to improve your page's scroll performance. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Avoid using document.write()
For users on slow connections, external scripts dynamically injected via document.write() can delay page load by tens of seconds. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Manifest's short_name won't be truncated when displayed on homescreen
Make your app's short_name fewer than 12 characters to ensure that it's not truncated on homescreens. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Configured for a custom splash screen

Load time9014 ms
Also known as the document complete time, it’s the time from the initial request until the browser load event. It can vary based on server location, device, browser, and third-party apps. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
Page load is fast enough on 3G
A fast page load over a 3G network ensures a good mobile user experience. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
First byte1918 ms
The time from the initial request to the first byte of the response. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
First Contentful Paint1209.939 ms
First contentful paint marks the time at which the first text/image is painted. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
First meaningful paint1209.939 ms
First meaningful paint measures when the primary content of a page is visible. It's essentially the paint after which the biggest above-the-fold layout change has happened, and web fonts have loaded. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Estimated Input Latency12 ms (target < 50 ms)
The score above is an estimate of how long your app takes to respond to user input, in milliseconds. There is a 90% probability that a user encounters this amount of latency, or less. 10% of the time a user can expect additional latency. If your score is higher than Lighthouse's target score (< 50ms), users may perceive your app as laggy. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Uses persistent connections (keep alive)Score: 100%
Closing connections are a missed opportunity for performance enhancement: additional round-trips between the user and the server to initiate a connection is redundant and time-consuming. Keep-Alive measures the effectiveness of connection reuse. The purpose of this grade is to evaluate the extent to which requests are inefficiently reopening connections. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
First CPU Idle1209.94 ms
First CPU Idle marks the first time at which the page's main thread is quiet enough to handle input. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Time to Interactive1209.94 ms
Interactive marks the time at which the page is fully interactive. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more
Page weight
Uses compression (gzip, zopfli, deflate, brotli)Score: 100%
This rule triggers when detecting that compressible resources were served without gzip compression. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
Uses a CDN for all static assetsScore: 0%
Each request for a piece of content to the web server has to travel from the user's browser all the way to the server and back. A content delivery network (CDN) is a system for distributing resources to servers geographically closer to users. The main benefit of this is that the round-trip time is faster. The passing grade for using a CDN effectively is to have at least 80% of static resources served from a CDN. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more
Leverage browser caching
Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network. Source: PageSpeed Insights - Learn more

Avoids an excessive DOM size107 nodes
Number of elements in the document. Browser engineers recommend pages contain fewer than ~1,500 DOM nodes. The sweet spot is a tree depth < 32 elements and fewer than 60 children/parent element. A large DOM can increase memory usage, cause longer style calculations, and produce costly layout reflows. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more

Uses Progressive JPEGsn/a
A progressive JPEG is image created using the JPEG suite of compression algorithms that will 'fade in' in successive waves of lines until the entire image has completely arrived. They show the entire image right away, looking slightly pixelated until the image data is fully loaded. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more

Improves server response time
This rule triggers when detecting that your server response time is above 200 ms. Server response time measures how long it takes to load the necessary HTML to begin rendering the page from your server, subtracting out the network latency between Google and your server. Source: PageSpeed Insights - Learn more
Avoids landing page redirects
Redirects trigger an additional HTTP request-response cycle and delay page rendering. In the best case, each redirect will add a single round trip (HTTP request-response), and in the worst it may result in multiple additional roundtrips to perform the DNS lookup, TCP handshake, and TLS negotiation in addition to the additional HTTP request-response cycle. As a result, you should minimize use of redirects to improve site performance. Source: PageSpeed Insights - Learn more
Usability 83/100 Industry: Agency / Portfolio
Brand logo linked to homepageNot applicable
Fails if doesn't have a logo or clicking it doesn't lead you to homepage.
No ending trailing paths
Fails if doesn't provide at least one of the following: main navigation options on footers, fixed or 'smart' headers/burger-icon, Back to top or close buttons.
Active section is highlighted in navigation menus
Fails if current section or page is not visually highlighted in navigation menus, except for internal section pages where it's accepted not to highlight the parent section.
Listing/overview pages with many items implements deferred loading techniquesNot applicable
Fails if the website doesn't provide at least one of the following: lazy-loading, load more buttons, paginator. Doesn't provide a clear reference about the total amount of items in a portfolio or blog page.
Prevent layout shiftings when loading media. Set width and height attributes on both <img> and <video> tags
Fails if transitioning from placeholders to final images changes the rendered size of the element as media loads. Not using a solid color placeholder occupying the same dimensions as the target image, or techniques such as LQIP or SQIP that hint at the content of a media item before it loads. These changes can be disorienting for users and trigger expensive DOM layout operations that consume system resources and contribute to jank.
The case listing page is not the only way to browse through all the cases
Fails if doesn't provide at least one of the following: next/prev case buttons, related cases listing, or any other way to keep browsing without going back and forth to the listing page.
Carousels are generally avoided (but they are acceptable if they are well implemented)
Fails if any of the following are seen: carousels auto-rotate, text is not legible, swipe is not supported, next images do not load within 1 second of swipe.
Make it easy to contact you
Fails if the website does not provide all of the following: easy to find contact options, tap to call, mailto on emails, addresses do not link to gMaps, except being embedded.
The most appropriate keyboard for the input type is provided firstNot applicable
Fails if most helpful keyboard not provided, i.e. input types text, tel, email, password, capitalization when appropiate, etc.
All mistakes made in forms are clearly highlighted in real time, and instructions for correct completion are provided in real timeNot applicable
Fails if mistakes and guidance for correct completion are not highlighted in real time and/or error messages are ambiguous or unfriendly.
