fusion5.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 795 KiBAbout 795 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google CDN and Hello Bar and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
850 ms · 253 KiBAbout 253 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 654 ms
654 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 654 ms of main-thread work and 534 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.
Google CDN adds 569 ms
569 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 569 ms of main-thread work and 742 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 610 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 276 KiB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (276 KiB).
Font display
350 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
1,734 HTML elements
The page has 1,734 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Minify JavaScript
28 KiB28 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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 CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
