Render-blocking requests

Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 305 KiBAbout 305 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
900 ms · 1.4 MB13 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 316 ms
316 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 316 ms of main-thread work and 305 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, roomvo.com and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 457 KiB and 335 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
140 ms · 5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
130 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
15 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15 KiB).
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: 6.5 MB in 139 requests
6.5 MBYour homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 139 requests on a phone: images 5.5 MB (26), scripts 723 KiB (64) and stylesheets 130 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images in older formats
11 images (1.1 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.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (824 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.85 g of CO₂e: 222.3 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
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
14 links without text
14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.dixie-home.com/product-category/carpet has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
