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
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 2.9 MBAbout 2.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.3 s · 1.1 MB37 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.1 MB).
Google CDN adds 1.9 s
1.9 sGoogle CDN costs a phone 1.9 s of main-thread work and 3.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
2.1 s32 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 29
29/100Your mobile performance score is 29 (desktop: 59). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.2 s
A phone's processor spends 9.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.7 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, Hubspot and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 6.3 MB and 3.5 s of main-thread time.
Hubspot adds 600 ms
600 msHubspot costs a phone 600 ms of main-thread work and 936 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 576 ms
576 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 576 ms of main-thread work and 689 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 614 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,733 HTML elements
The page has 2,733 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
hs-sites.com adds 105 ms
105 mshs-sites.com costs a phone 105 ms of main-thread work and 641 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 66 KiB3 images could be 66 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.
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 59 but mobile only 29. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 12.8 s

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 23.3 MB in 225 requests
23.3 MBYour homepage downloads 23.3 MB in 225 requests on a phone: images 14.3 MB (46), scripts 5.6 MB (67) and other files 1.7 MB (37). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 13.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
7 images in older formats
7 images (14.0 MB) are 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
[email protected] 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).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (144 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 6.6 g of CO₂ per visit
6.60 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.60 g of CO₂e: 792.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (60 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 60 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 5 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
