Optimizing/Reducing web page load time

I have a website and I currently use a very small subset of bootstrap 5.0, and my own CSS file. I also use some jQuery for simple scrolling/form behaviours, and font-awesome for icons.

I run a coverage analysis in chrome dev tools, and reports the following:

Library/bundle unused (%/bytes)
bootstrap.min.css 96% (146kb)
jquery.min.js 68% (61kb)
bootstrap bundle min js 76% (60kb)
font-awesome.min.css 99% (30kb)
custom.css (mine) 28% (2kb)

I'm not too worried about custom.css, though from a performance standpoint, I'm curious to know why SASS wouldn't tell me which tags are unused & more importantly, how my CSS stands up to performance metrics.

These are the CDNs I pull libraries from
In the head

  • cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css
  • cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.0-beta1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
  • ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js
  • custom.css

At the bottom of the body, not deferred

  • cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js

My takeaway questions

  1. What are good standards of analysis & reduction of the aforementioned libraries/packages?
  2. What are the best ways to gauge and categorize load-performance? (over-usage of CSS, redundancy, nesting, etc..)

Unrelated to this question
There's a bug in the markdown for tables. In the table above, under the library/bundle column, it would report this if I had periods between the library domain levels in the third row (bootstrap.bundle.min.js versus bootstrap bundle min js)

Who should I report this to?

As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
