Speed
3,873 HTML elements
The page has 3,873 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 732 KiB16 images could be 732 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 61 KiBAbout 61 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 350 ms.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 210 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Google Analytics and others), adding 202 KiB and 160 ms of main-thread time.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 711 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 19 ms
19 msYour server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.2 s
10.2 sYour largest element takes 10.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 10.2 s
10.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.5 s
5.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
15 images without width and height
15 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 223 ms
223 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 223 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 47 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 47 requests on a phone: images 955 KiB (28), other files 638 KiB (6) and fonts 388 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
131 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example boost-sales.png at 1,261 px wide, shown at 336 px. Resized copies would save about 131 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (441 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (239 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
48 internal links, 13 external

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
