Speed
Render-blocking requests
750 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Improve image delivery
204 KiB10 images could be 204 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and Google Fonts), adding 60 KiB and 7 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
9 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).
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.
