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
Improve image delivery
1.5 s · 831 KiB20 images could be 831 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
5,206 HTML elements
The page has 5,206 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 645 KiBAbout 645 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 393 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 97 ms
97 msKlaviyo costs a phone 97 ms of main-thread work and 342 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 (JSDelivr CDN, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 876 KiB and 481 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 26 KiB26 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
82 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (82 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.2 MB in 282 requests
6.2 MBYour homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 282 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (81), scripts 1.3 MB (111) and other files 657 KiB (67). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
110126_ON_HDM_6.jpg 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).
4 images far larger than shown
151 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 897709-897707-897704-897712-ON-24-FEA-1_500x.jpg at 500 px wide, shown at 114 px. Resized copies would save about 151 KiB.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (349 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (100 KiB) is 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.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.76 g of CO₂e: 210.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (4 elements)
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 171 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
