douxo.co.uk website review

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Didomi and Shopify and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

About 807 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 898 ms of main-thread work and 898 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.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

16 images could be 361 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 2,493 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Shopify costs a phone 66 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.

10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 244 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

43 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 43 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.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (74 KiB).

7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The page becomes fully interactive after 19.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 746 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 185 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (44), images 1.1 MB (48) and other files 693 KiB (80). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

750x856_8341db84-79cf-444b-91c4-3dec80bb4ac8.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).

2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example DOUXOLogoUK.svg at 300 px wide, shown at 86 px. Resized copies would save about 45 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 131.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
