How to optimize mybu.bethlehem.edu
Critical assets have zero cache lifetime, forcing users to redownload 1.3MB on every visit and delaying LCP by 7 seconds.
Configure server headers to cache JavaScript for 1 year (Cache-Control: max-age=31536000). Set CSS files to cache for 1 year with versioning. Cache images for 6 months to reduce repeat load times.
A score of 46 falls in the "Poor" 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.
Addressing these issues could improve your conversion rate by 15-20% and boost your search engine rankings.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
This website has poor performance with a score of 46/100, indicating significant issues that hurt user experience. The biggest problem is extremely slow loading times - it takes 9.4 seconds for the largest content (the logo image) to appear and 7.3 seconds for any content to show up, which is far too long for users to wait. The main culprits are an oversized logo image that's 4 times larger than needed, massive amounts of unused JavaScript (811 KB that could be removed), and poor caching that forces users to re-download the same files repeatedly. Fixing the image size, removing unused code, and implementing proper browser caching could dramatically improve loading times and boost the performance score by 30+ points.
Why It Matters:
811KB of unused JavaScript is blocking rendering and delaying both FCP by 3.8s and LCP by 3.95s.
How to Fix:
Use webpack-bundle-analyzer to identify unused code in index-B5popVF8.js. Implement code splitting to load only necessary JavaScript initially. Remove or defer Google Sign-In client if not used on login page.
Why It Matters:
The logo image is oversized (1376x896 served for 333x217 display) and lacks proper loading optimization as the LCP element.
How to Fix:
Resize logo.png to actual display dimensions (333x217) to save 85KB. Add fetchpriority='high' attribute to the logo image. Convert to WebP format for additional 20-30% size reduction.
