  Should Fix:
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 4 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.

Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

  • https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/static/govuk-template-b25ed3a03b2ee8ca465a305a4f1681c3ea011f3c8d92132a6f3f4908c825cf32.css

Minify JavaScript
Compacting JavaScript code can save many bytes of data and speed up downloading, parsing, and execution time.

Minify JavaScript for the following resources to reduce their size by 3.2KiB (32% reduction).

  • Minifying https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/frontend/frontend-bdcddc6c9c9603b2aa61ce0a6f3d98578a93a6b11df16ee9986d4724b02995a3.js could save 3.2KiB (32% reduction) after compression.
