How to optimize apple.com
JavaScript is causing 278ms of forced reflows that block rendering and hurt user experience.
Batch DOM reads and writes in ac-analytics.js and main.built.js to avoid layout thrashing. Use transform properties instead of changing geometric properties like offsetWidth. Implement requestAnimationFrame for smoother animations and DOM updates.
A score of 56 falls in the "Needs Improvement" range (50-89). While it is better than poor (0-49), you should aim for 90+ to provide an optimal user experience and maximize SEO benefits.
This site is slower than approximately 35% of similar sites. The main issues affecting performance are image optimization, JavaScript execution time, and layout stability.

This Apple.com page has poor performance with a score of 56/100, primarily due to excessive unused code and blocking resources. The biggest problem is 94 KiB of unused CSS that's delaying page rendering by 450ms, along with 280 KiB of unused JavaScript that could save 1.5 seconds in loading time. The site is also suffering from render-blocking requests that delay First Contentful Paint by over 11 seconds, and legacy JavaScript polyfills that aren't needed for modern browsers. Cleaning up unused code, deferring non-critical resources, and optimizing the critical rendering path could dramatically improve load times and boost the performance score by 30+ points.
Why It Matters:
94 KiB of unused CSS is blocking render and delaying LCP by 450ms.
How to Fix:
Remove unused CSS from main.built.css (93% unused), modal.css (99% unused), and home-gallery.built.css (81% unused). Use tools like PurgeCSS to automatically eliminate dead CSS. Split critical above-the-fold CSS into inline styles and defer non-critical CSS loading.
Why It Matters:
280 KiB of unused JavaScript is slowing page load by 1.5 seconds and delaying LCP.
How to Fix:
Code-split autofilms.built.js (81% unused) and globalheader.umd.js (35% unused) to load only necessary functionality. Implement dynamic imports for gallery features that aren't immediately needed. Use tree-shaking in your build process to eliminate dead code automatically.
Once your site is optimized, maintain that speed. Use DeployHQ for zero-downtime, automated deployments—so performance fixes and updates go live safely every time, without breaking your site.
