> Tag managers, chat widgets, ads and pixels often outweigh the page itself and block the main thread. Load them late, remove what nobody uses.

## Third-party code weight

Passing looks like: Third-party code weight passes.

**Why it matters.** Tags, widgets and embeds from other companies run on your visitors' phones at your page's expense. Over 250 KB or 250 ms of blocking is a sign they dominate the load.

**How to fix it.**

1. List what each third party gives you; remove the ones nobody looks at.
2. Load the rest after interaction or with a facade (a static thumbnail for YouTube, a click-to-load chat button).
3. Move tags into a tag manager that fires them late, not in <head>.
