How to Fix Heavy Third-Party Scripts

Analytics, chat, and ad tags blocking the main thread and slowing pages.

Symptoms you'll see

Third-party scripts (analytics, chat, ads, A/B testing) compete for the main thread and network, often dominating page weight and delaying interactivity.

Why it happens

Unmanaged third-party scripts are a top cause of poor INP and wasted mobile bandwidth, and can crash Core Web Vitals scores.

Step-by-step fix

Audit with a third-party script manager, defer or async non-critical tags, use a tag manager with lazy loading, and remove unused vendors. Server-side tag where possible.
