How to optimize usepike.com
Images are 1,424 KiB oversized and delay LCP by 250ms while consuming excessive bandwidth.
Use Next.js Image component with proper responsive sizes prop (e.g., sizes='(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw'). Generate multiple image variants using next/image's built-in optimization. Replace loading='lazy' with loading='eager' and fetchpriority='high' for above-the-fold images like the finance dashboard.
A score of 66 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.
Addressing these issues could improve your conversion rate by 15-20% and boost your search engine rankings.

This Next.js site has poor performance issues with a score of 66/100. The biggest problem is an extremely slow Largest Contentful Paint of 13.4 seconds, primarily caused by render-blocking CSS files that could save 560ms and oversized images wasting 1,424 KiB of bandwidth. The site also suffers from excessive main-thread blocking (2.2 seconds) and unused JavaScript (89 KiB), resulting in a delayed Time to Interactive of 14 seconds. Optimizing image sizes, deferring CSS loading, and removing unused code could dramatically improve load times and user experience.
Why It Matters:
CSS files block initial render for 560ms, significantly delaying First Contentful Paint.
How to Fix:
Move critical CSS inline in your Next.js _document.js file using styled-jsx or CSS-in-JS. Use Next.js dynamic imports with ssr: false for non-critical components. Add preload links for essential CSS chunks in your custom Head component.
Why It Matters:
89 KiB of unused JavaScript increases bundle size and delays LCP by 600ms.
How to Fix:
Enable Next.js bundle analyzer to identify dead code in chunks like 844ce7817c4277af.js (55% unused). Use dynamic imports for large components that aren't immediately needed. Configure webpack to remove legacy JavaScript polyfills since you're targeting modern browsers.
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.

371 KiB of unused JavaScript is blocking the main thread for 2.4 seconds and delaying interactivity by 18+ seconds.
The LCP image has lazy loading enabled, delaying critical content painting by 4.5 seconds and causing massive element render delay.
92KB of unused JavaScript is adding 750ms to LCP and blocking the main thread unnecessarily.
Three oversized images (1.4MB total) are severely impacting LCP by loading at 3840px width when only 665px is needed.
