Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 332 KiB5 images could be 332 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 111 KiBAbout 111 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 69 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (69 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
400 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 141 ms
141 msShopify costs a phone 141 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Klaviyo adds 102 ms
102 msKlaviyo costs a phone 102 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1,021 KiB and 483 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 27 KiBAbout 27 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 64 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 16.0 MB in 468 requests
16.0 MBYour homepage downloads 16.0 MB in 468 requests on a phone: media 12.7 MB (1), other files 1.3 MB (232) and scripts 1.0 MB (176). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Remi_Website_design_updated.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image far larger than shown
144 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Remi_Website_design_updated.png at 2,000 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 144 KiB.
About 4.5 g of CO₂ per visit
4.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.52 g of CO₂e: 542.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
15 links without text
15 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
2 linked pages are broken
Your homepage links to https://www.bridgerwatch.com/pages/hsa-fsa-eligible-watches and https://www.bridgerwatch.com/pages/presale-terms-conditions, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.
