Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78 (desktop: 100). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
410 ms · 215 KiBAbout 215 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 410 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 80 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (shortpixel.ai, Cloudflare and Plausible), adding 134 KiB and 50 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
7 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7 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.
