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
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
1,912 HTML elements
The page has 1,912 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
138 KiBAbout 138 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 91 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
60 KiB7 images could be 60 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (VWO, Google Fonts and jQuery CDN), adding 33 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 191 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 64 ms
64 msYour server sent the HTML in 64 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.7 s
5.7 sYour largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Hazelcast lets you build real-time apps that react instantl…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).
First Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sThe first text or image appears after 4.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.7 s
5.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

4 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.00

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 4 ms
4 msScripts block the page for only 4 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (31 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.25 g of CO₂e: 29.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 889 KiB in 63 requests
889 KiBYour homepage downloads 889 KiB in 63 requests on a phone: fonts 234 KiB (4), images 229 KiB (41) and scripts 223 KiB (14). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Required ARIA attributes must be provided (6 elements)
Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (24 elements)
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 24 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
37 links without text
37 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 75 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
7 links with vague text
7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
