First Contentful Paint2120.156 ms

First contentful paint marks the time at which the first text/image is painted. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more

First meaningful paint2120.156 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: -1%

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 Idle2120.16 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

Page weight

Uses compression (gzip, zopfli, deflate, brotli)Score: -1%

This rule triggers when detecting that compressible resources were served without gzip compression. Source: WebPagetest - Learn more

Uses a CDN for all static assetsScore: -1%

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 size97 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

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

Prioritizes visible content

This rule triggers when detecting that additional network round trips are required to render the above-the-fold content of the page. Source: PageSpeed Insights - 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 50/100 Industry: Agency / Portfolio

Brand logo linked to homepage

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 techniques

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.

First contentful paint marks the time at which the first text/image is painted. Source: Lighthouse - Learn more

First meaningful paint3017.463 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: 92%

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.

Uses compression (gzip, zopfli, deflate, brotli)Score: 84%

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 size117 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

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

Prioritizes visible content

This rule triggers when detecting that additional network round trips are required to render the above-the-fold content of the page. Source: PageSpeed Insights - 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 50/100 Industry: Agency / Portfolio

Brand logo linked to homepage

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 techniques

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.
