Performance Analyzer

What is this warning?

A critical resource (CSS or JavaScript file) that's needed for initial page rendering is too large. Large critical resources delay the time it takes for users to see content, negatively impacting Core Web Vitals and user experience.

How to Fix It

The Problem

A critical CSS or JavaScript file is over 100KB, causing delays in page rendering.

The Solution

Split large critical resources into smaller chunks, inline only the most critical parts, and defer non-critical portions.

<style>/* Only critical above-the-fold CSS */</style>
<link rel="preload" href="remaining.css" as="style" onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'">

Why This Works

Smaller critical resources load faster, allowing the browser to render content sooner and improving First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint metrics.
