Based on the data provided, the following actions should be prioritised to increase website speed:
- Reduce Unused JavaScript: With an estimated saving of 11.34s, reducing unused JavaScript can significantly decrease the load time and increase the efficiency of the website.
- Defer Offscreen Images: Another major action would be to defer offscreen images. This can save an estimated 9.61s. Images that are not currently in the viewport can be loaded later, thereby speeding up the initial page load time.
- Properly Size Images: Images that are larger than they need to be can slow down page loading times. Properly sizing images can save an estimated 6.35s.
- Serve Images in Next-Gen Formats: Using next-gen formats like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, or WebP can provide better compression and quality characteristics compared to older formats. This can save an estimated 5.29s.
- Reduce Initial Server Response Time: The initial server response time is crucial for a website’s load time. Reducing this can save an estimated 1.72s. This can be achieved by optimising the server configuration, improving server-side rendering, or reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed before it can respond.
These actions do not directly affect the Performance score but can help the page load faster.

- Website Updates: Regularly updating the website and adding new pages could boost website visibility. For example, olympia.london and scape.com have increased their number of pages and seen an increase in organic traffic.
- Improving Domain Rating (DR): Websites with higher DR, such as rics.org and the-shard.com, seem to have more organic traffic. Steps should be taken to improve the DR.
- Monitor Traffic Value: The traffic value has a direct relationship with organic traffic. Websites like rics.org and the-shard.com have high traffic value and consequently, increased organic traffic. Efforts must be made to improve the traffic value.
- Regular Analysis: A regular analysis of organic traffic is necessary to make adjustments. For example, thameswater.co.uk has seen a decrease in organic traffic and should take corrective measures.
