How to optimize apple.com
The LCP image is not discoverable in initial HTML, causing delayed loading and poor performance.
Add fetchpriority='high' attribute to the hero iPhone image. Include the image directly in HTML instead of loading via JavaScript. Preload the LCP image using <link rel='preload' as='image'> in the document head.
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.

Measures visual stability - how much content shifts during page load
Apple's website has poor performance with a score of 56/100, indicating significant issues that hurt user experience. The biggest problem is excessive JavaScript that blocks the page from rendering - nearly 287KB of unused JavaScript is delaying content display by 1.5 seconds, while render-blocking scripts are causing an 11-second delay in First Contentful Paint. The site also suffers from inefficient font loading and caching strategies that could save an additional 1.5MB in bandwidth. Removing unused JavaScript, deferring non-critical scripts, and optimizing font delivery would provide the most immediate performance improvements.
Why It Matters:
Render-blocking scripts delay First Contentful Paint by 11.2 seconds, severely impacting user experience.
How to Fix:
Add async or defer attributes to non-critical JavaScript files. Move autofilms.built.js and globalheader.umd.js to load after initial render. Inline critical JavaScript directly in HTML for immediate execution.
Why It Matters:
280 KiB of unused JavaScript wastes bandwidth and delays LCP by 1.5 seconds.
How to Fix:
Use tree-shaking to eliminate dead code from autofilms.built.js (80% unused). Split large bundles into smaller chunks loaded on-demand. Remove legacy polyfills for modern browser features like Array.isArray and forEach.
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.
