Findings with evidence
ImproveServer responded in 1389 ms
Time to response headers from our checker. Final URL: https://buffer.com/
Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.
ImproveHTML size 601 KB, 40 script tags
1 render-blocking script in <head>: https://static.buffer.com/marketing/_next/static/chunks/polyfills-42372ed130431b0a.js
Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
