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
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,108 HTML elements
The page has 4,108 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, Shopify and govx.com and others), adding 2.2 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 188 KiB3 images could be 188 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Signyfyd adds 803 ms
803 msSignyfyd costs a phone 803 ms of main-thread work and 265 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.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Shopify adds 369 ms
369 msShopify costs a phone 369 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
405 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (405 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
376 KiBAbout 376 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 74 KiBAbout 74 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
govx.com adds 343 ms
343 msgovx.com costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 7 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 312 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Bold Commerce adds 256 ms
256 msBold Commerce costs a phone 256 ms of main-thread work and 485 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 683 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 683 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (254), images 1.3 MB (255) and other files 919 KiB (148). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
TruCuT_Ceramic_Product_Showcase.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).
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.25 g of CO₂e: 149.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO

Other pages

Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
https://ctdbowling.com/collections/bowling-ball-cleaners-2026 and https://ctdbowling.com/collections/bowling-ball-performance-restoration-2026 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
