adaptil.com.au does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.7 s · 3.4 MB111 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.4 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.1 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, YouTube and Amazon Web Services and others), adding 5.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 545 ms
545 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 545 ms of main-thread work and 890 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.
Amazon Web Services adds 102 ms
102 msAmazon Web Services costs a phone 102 ms of main-thread work and 3.4 MB 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.
YouTube adds 297 ms
297 msYouTube costs a phone 297 ms of main-thread work and 986 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.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,228 HTML elements
The page has 2,228 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 152 KiBAbout 152 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.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 203 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
69 KiB1 image could be 69 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

SEO

Your meta description is 315 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

Content and conversion
