Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 75 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

The homepage is served over HTTPS (aptask.com).
Valid certificate (174 days left)
The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 S18 verifies for aptask.com and is valid for another 174 days.
