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
website-files.com adds 1.5 s
1.5 swebsite-files.com costs a phone 1.5 s of main-thread work and 1.4 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
1.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 33
33/100Your mobile performance score is 33 (desktop: 52). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.9 s
A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,715 HTML elements
The page has 3,715 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 (website-files.com, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.2 MB and 2.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
930 ms · 168 KiBAbout 168 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 930 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
780 ms · 252 KiBAbout 252 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 780 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 244 KiB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (244 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 553 ms
553 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 553 ms of main-thread work and 334 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.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 537 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 273 ms
273 msFacebook costs a phone 273 ms of main-thread work and 223 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
59 KiB3 images could be 59 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 139 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 139 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (43), images 734 KiB (74) and other files 265 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (201 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
