acetool.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
3.5 s · 1.5 MB10 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 340 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (340 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (makitatools.com, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.7 MB and 711 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
makitatools.com adds 149 ms
149 msmakitatools.com costs a phone 149 ms of main-thread work and 519 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 177 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
17 KiB17 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.9 MB in 268 requests
7.9 MBYour homepage downloads 7.9 MB in 268 requests on a phone: HTML 2.8 MB (3), scripts 2.1 MB (94) and images 1.9 MB (28). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
9 images far larger than shown
816 KiB9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Husqvarna_Homepage_Banner_1.png at 1,400 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 816 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (248 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (30 KiB) is 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.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.24 g of CO₂e: 269.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
