While anything you do to improve page load speed will improve your Speed Index score, addressing the following should have a particularly big impact:<ul><li dir = "auto"></li></ul><a href=https://web.dev/mainthread-work-breakdown class="idea-content-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Minimize main thread work</a><ul><li dir = "auto"></li></ul><a href=https://web.dev/bootup-time class="idea-content-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Reduce JavaScript execution time</a><ul><li dir = "auto"></li></ul><a href=https://web.dev/font-display class="idea-content-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Ensure text remains visible during webfont load</a>

Speed Index

Name - Weight in score - Summary<ol><li>First Contentful Paint (FCP) - 10% - Time to paint the first text or image</li><li>Time to Interactive (TTI) - 10% - Necessary time for the app to become fully interactive (responding within 50ms from user interaction)</li><li>Speed Index (SI) - 10% - How fast the content inside the page is visible populated</li><li>Total Blocking Time (TBT) - 30% - Sum of all periods between FCP and TTI, when the task exceeds 50ms</li><li>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) - 25% - Time for the largest image or text to be painted</li><li>Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) - 15% - Movement of visible elements</li></ol>

The metrics measured

TBT measures the total amount of time that a page is blocked from responding to user input, such as mouse clicks, screen taps, or keyboard presses. The sum is calculated by adding the blocking portion of all&nbsp;<a href=https://web.dev/long-tasks-devtools class="idea-content-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">long tasks</a><a href=https://web.dev/first-contentful-paint/ class="idea-content-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">First Contentful Paint</a><a href=https://web.dev/interactive/ class="idea-content-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Time to Interactive</a>

Short notices

Very important for this part is the font load time. For faster load, it can be used the <code>font-display: swap. </code>This will make the site to render the default font and when the loading is done, the font will be changed. Also, you can preload the fonts.

PRPL is an acronym that describes a pattern used to make web pages load and become interactive, faster:<ul><li>Push (or preload) the most important resources.</li><li>Render the initial route as soon as possible.</li><li>Pre-cache remaining assets.</li><li>Lazy load other routes and non-critical assets.</li></ul>
