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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.0 s · 566 KiB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (566 KiB).
Improve image delivery
3.0 s · 554 KiB2 images could be 554 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 490 KiBAbout 490 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 92). 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, Google Analytics and LinkedIn Ads and others), adding 904 KiB and 757 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 713 ms
713 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 713 ms of main-thread work and 772 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 240 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
17 KiBAbout 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 66. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 753 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 46 ms
46 msYour server sent the HTML in 46 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Time to Interactive: 11.3 s
11.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 72 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.008
0.008The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.008, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
DSC_2538-scaled-1.jpg weighs 556 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image far larger than shown
490 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example DSC_2538-scaled-1.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 294 px. Resized copies would save about 490 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (556 KiB) is 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.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 58.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 75 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 75 requests on a phone: scripts 995 KiB (42), images 638 KiB (13) and fonts 48 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 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.
17 links without text
17 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 5 failed. 3 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.
109 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 109 pages on fluidlife.com and 11 external pages.

Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (809 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Security and trust
http:// does not redirect
http://fluidlife.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy

No direct contact details
