Performance Analyzer

What is this warning?

A critical resource on your page would benefit from a preload hint. Preloading tells the browser to start downloading important resources early in the page load process, ensuring they're available when needed and reducing overall load times.

How to Fix It

The Problem

Important resources like fonts, critical CSS, or key JavaScript files are discovered late in the loading process.

The Solution

Add preload links in the `<head>` section for critical resources.

<link rel="preload" href="critical-font.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin>
<link rel="preload" href="critical-styles.css" as="style">
<link rel="preload" href="important-script.js" as="script">

Why This Works

Preloading critical resources ensures they start downloading early, reducing the time between when they're needed and when they're available, which improves overall page performance.
