Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 9 blocking script resources and 7 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.

None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.

Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

  Consider Fixing:
Enable compression
Compressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network.

Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 7.8KiB (62% reduction).

  • Compressing http://optimized-by.rubiconproject.com/a/9176/21342/72686-43.js?&cb=0.38389647961594164&tk_st=1&rf=http%3A//www.bbc.com/&rp_s=l&tg_i.site=homepage&tg_i.slot=leaderboard&p_pos=atf&p_screen_res=412x732&ad_slot=21342_43 could save 2.4KiB (50% reduction).
  • Compressing http://www.bbc.co.uk/idcta/translations?callback&locale=en-GB could save 2.3KiB (78% reduction).
  • Compressing https://fig.bbc.co.uk/frameworks/fig/1/fig.js could save 2.2KiB (63% reduction).
  • Compressing http://www.bbc.co.uk/idcta/config?callback&locale=en-GB&ptrt=http://www.bbc.com/ could save 812B (66% reduction).
Show how to fix
Minify HTML
Compacting HTML code, including any inline JavaScript and CSS contained in it, can save many bytes of data and speed up download and parse times.

Minify HTML for the following resources to reduce their size by 865B (11% reduction).

  • Minifying http://tap2-cdn.rubiconproject.com/partner/scripts/rubicon/emily.html?pc=9176/21342&geo=na&co=us could save 865B (11% reduction) after compression.
Show how to fix
Prioritize visible content
Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.

The entire HTML response was not sufficient to render the above-the-fold content. This usually indicates that additional resources, loaded after HTML parsing, were required to render above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold by including it directly in the HTML response.

  • Only about 47% of the final above-the-fold content could be rendered with the full HTML response snapshot:18.

Minify HTML
Compacting HTML code, including any inline JavaScript and CSS contained in it, can save many bytes of data and speed up download and parse times.

Minify HTML for the following resources to reduce their size by 864B (11% reduction).

  • Minifying http://tap2-cdn.rubiconproject.com/partner/scripts/rubicon/emily.html?pc=9176/20873&geo=na&co=us could save 864B (11% reduction) after compression.

Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 9 blocking script resources and 7 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.

None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.

Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

Prioritize visible content
Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.

The entire HTML response was not sufficient to render the above-the-fold content. This usually indicates that additional resources, loaded after HTML parsing, were required to render above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold by including it directly in the HTML response.

  • Only about 31% of the final above-the-fold content could be rendered with the full HTML response snapshot:18.
