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
audioeye-services.com adds 2.4 s
2.4 saudioeye-services.com costs a phone 2.4 s of main-thread work and 413 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 9.5 s
A phone's processor spends 9.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,107 HTML elements
The page has 5,107 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (audioeye-services.com, govx.com and Shopify and others), adding 1.9 MB and 3.9 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
govx.com adds 956 ms
956 msgovx.com costs a phone 956 ms of main-thread work and 7 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
690 KiBAbout 690 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Shopify adds 406 ms
406 msShopify costs a phone 406 ms of main-thread work and 650 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.
tidio.co adds 74 ms
74 mstidio.co costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 148 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (148 KiB).
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 101 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
91 KiB10 images could be 91 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (98 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.80 g of CO₂e: 336.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed

No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
13 text elements with low contrast

All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

Content and conversion
