Modernize JavaScript Build Target

Medium Impact+5 points estimated

Why It Matters

Legacy JavaScript polyfills add 13KB of unnecessary code that modern browsers don't need.

How to Fix

Update Next.js config to target modern browsers by setting target: 'es2020' in next.config.js. Remove unnecessary polyfills from babel config. Use browserslist to exclude outdated browser versions if business requirements allow.

AI Performance Analysis

This Next.js site has moderate performance issues with a score of 77/100, but several critical problems are slowing down the user experience. The biggest issue is excessive JavaScript blocking the main thread for 480ms, causing a poor Time to Interactive of 7.0 seconds and making the site feel unresponsive to user clicks. The site is also loading 101KB of unused JavaScript code and has render-blocking CSS that could save 140ms if optimized. Focusing on code splitting to reduce unused JavaScript and deferring non-critical resources would significantly improve both the performance score and user experience.

Other Optimization Recommendations

Eliminate Render Blocking CSS

High Impact+8 points estimated

Why It Matters:

Render blocking CSS is delaying First Contentful Paint by 150ms and preventing critical content from appearing.

How to Fix:

Use Next.js dynamic imports to code-split the CSS bundle. Inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content using next/head. Move non-critical styles to load asynchronously with media='print' then switch to 'all' onload.

Reduce Unused JavaScript Bundles

High Impact+12 points estimated

Why It Matters:

101KB of unused JavaScript is increasing bundle size and blocking the main thread unnecessarily.

How to Fix:

Implement dynamic imports in Next.js for components not needed on initial load. Use React.lazy() and Suspense to code-split heavy components. Analyze bundle with @next/bundle-analyzer and remove unused dependencies from package.json.
