Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 714 KiBAbout 714 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 308 KiB4 images could be 308 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 267 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (267 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. 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 (infobip.com, WebEngage and Snapchat and others), adding 1.5 MB and 604 ms of main-thread time.
infobip.com adds 301 ms
301 msinfobip.com costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 539 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.
2,018 HTML elements
The page has 2,018 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 53 ms
53 msShopify costs a phone 53 ms of main-thread work and 463 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Tap response (INP) got 32% slower for real visitors
+32%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 296 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 296 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (72), images 1.4 MB (23) and other files 976 KiB (159). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (197 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (201 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.20 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 144.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
19 text elements with low contrast
19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
25 links without text
25 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
1 page without a title
https://allbirds.ae/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

10 pages without a meta description
