www.yahoo.com speed test — 20 Oct 2026

1 image(s) over 200 KB and 6 large image(s) still served as JPEG or PNG.

Fix: Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG fallback, size images to the space they occupy, and lazy-load anything below the fold. Images are usually more than half of a slow page.

11 render-blocking resource(s) in the document head (1 script(s), 10 stylesheet(s)). The page cannot paint until each one arrives.

Fix: Add defer or async to scripts that do not change the first paint, inline the critical CSS, and load the rest with media="print" plus an onload swap.

The page transfers 6.08 MB across 26 request(s), with the document itself at 226.6 KB.

Fix: Work through the heaviest assets first: images, then fonts, then third-party scripts.

1 third-party host(s) serve 5.86 MB of this page. Each one is another DNS lookup, TLS handshake and point of failure you do not control.

Fix: Self-host the libraries you can, drop the tags you cannot justify, and preconnect the ones you keep.

The document transfers 226.6 KB. A bloated document delays every other request, because nothing else can start until it is parsed.

Fix: Paginate long listings, move repeated markup into a template, and stop inlining large data URIs into the HTML.
