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
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cdn-website.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.5 MB and 822 ms of main-thread time.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 583 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 305 ms
305 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 305 ms of main-thread work and 193 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.
cdn-website.com adds 181 ms
181 mscdn-website.com costs a phone 181 ms of main-thread work and 1,010 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.
1,549 HTML elements
The page has 1,549 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
233 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (233 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
188 KiBAbout 188 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 11 KiB1 image could be 11 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
10 KiBAbout 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (76 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.51 g of CO₂e: 60.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 115 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 115 requests on a phone: scripts 803 KiB (43), images 752 KiB (32) and fonts 99 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
32 text elements with low contrast
32 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
19 tap targets too small
19 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
