Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.7 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.7 s.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 66). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.6 s
A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,404 HTML elements
The page has 3,404 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
610 ms · 529 KiBAbout 529 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and OptiMonk and others), adding 1.3 MB and 823 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 312 ms
312 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 312 ms of main-thread work and 358 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
345 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (345 KiB).
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 343 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
310 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
94 KiB5 images could be 94 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
57 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Duplicated JavaScript
21 KiB21 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
