Web Vitals Analyzer

What is this warning?

Your page has an extremely large number of HTML elements (a large DOM). A complex DOM can slow down page rendering, increase memory usage, and make JavaScript interactions feel sluggish. Simplifying your HTML structure can lead to a noticeably faster and smoother experience.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

A page with thousands of nested `<div>` elements.

The Solution

Look for opportunities to simplify your HTML. Can you remove unnecessary wrapper elements? Can you use CSS Grid or Flexbox to achieve a layout with fewer elements? Also, consider lazy-loading or paginating long lists of content to keep the initial DOM size small.

Why This Works

A smaller, simpler DOM allows the browser to calculate layout and styles much faster. This can improve a wide range of performance metrics, including LCP and Interaction to Next Paint (INP).
