Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
10.0 s · 2.0 MBAbout 2.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
4.7 s26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.7 s.
Mobile performance score: 22
22/100Your mobile performance score is 22 (desktop: 15). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and ContentSquare and others), adding 3.5 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 162 KiBAbout 162 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 780 ms
780 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 780 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 MB 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 431 ms
431 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 431 ms of main-thread work and 950 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.
ContentSquare adds 374 ms
374 msContentSquare costs a phone 374 ms of main-thread work and 178 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.
Minify CSS
300 ms · 15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2,009 HTML elements
The page has 2,009 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 20 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (20 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
47 KiB1 image could be 47 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Security and trust
http:// does not redirect
http://centroid.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
