Page weight is large
Why it matters
Weight is the part of Core Web Vitals you control without touching the framework.
What to do about it
Compress the HTML, split the JavaScript, and serve images at display size.
This one is reported rather than applied. It needs a judgement a person has to make, and applying it automatically would be a change to your site that nobody decided on.
How it is weighted
These are the values the scoring actually uses, not a description of them. Priority is derived from all three rather than chosen, which is why a high-impact, low-effort finding surfaces above a severe one that would take a quarter to fix.
- Severity
- medium
- Impact
- 40% of the weight this category can carry
- Effort
- 50%, where 100% is a project rather than a change
- Confidence
- 80% that a hit is a real problem rather than a pattern we misread
