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
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 1.9 MB6 images could be 1.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.4 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49 (desktop: 68). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 178 KiBAbout 178 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TrustArc and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 473 KiB and 760 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 550 ms
550 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 550 ms of main-thread work and 377 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
21 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (21 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

Tap response (INP) got 35% slower for real visitors
+35%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 143 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 517 ms
517 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 517 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 51 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 51 requests on a phone: images 2.7 MB (15), scripts 580 KiB (13) and fonts 258 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1.03 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.03 g of CO₂e: 123.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Security and trust
