Unsized ImagesUnsized Images are pictures placed on a page without declared width and height, causing the layout to jump around as they load. This contributes to layout shift and a poor visual experience. Always set image dimensions or use CSS aspect ratios to keep the page stable during loading.

Unused CSS RulesUnused CSS Rules are styles shipped to the browser that never actually apply to anything on the page. They add unnecessary weight, slow down rendering, and make stylesheets harder to maintain. Regularly cleaning out dead CSS keeps your stylesheets lean and your pages fast.

Use rel=preconnectPreconnect is a hint you give the browser to start connecting to important external servers before they are actually needed. It reduces connection setup time and can speed up loading for critical resources. Use it sparingly though — too many preconnects can waste resources.

Use rel=preloadRel=preload tells the browser to fetch important resources, like fonts or key scripts, as early as possible in the loading process. Used wisely, it speeds up first render and reduces delays for critical assets. Overusing it can backfire by competing with other important downloads.

Use Text CompressionText compression means shrinking text-based files like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON before sending them to the browser. Gzip and Brotli are the most common methods, and they can dramatically reduce transfer sizes. Enabling compression is one of the easiest server-side performance wins.

Uses Long Cache TTLUses Long Cache TTL checks whether static assets (scripts, stylesheets, images, fonts) are served with a long browser cache lifetime. Short or missing cache headers force repeat visitors to re-download assets they already have, wasting bandwidth and slowing page loads.
