Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 251 KiBAbout 251 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Minify JavaScript
730 ms · 54 KiB54 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 68 KiB1 image could be 68 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 83 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (83 KiB).
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,061 HTML elements
The page has 2,061 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 (Google Tag Manager, tailwindcss.com and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 499 KiB and 453 ms of main-thread time.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
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.
