artefact.com website review

40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.4 MB).

About 387 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

A phone's processor spends 10.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Your mobile performance score is 49 (desktop: 69). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

The page has 3,271 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

About 126 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 283 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Didomi and XiTi and others), adding 440 KiB and 358 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

2 images could be 58 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.98 g of CO₂e: 357.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
