Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 346 KiBAbout 346 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 94 KiB2 images could be 94 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 176 ms
176 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 176 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.
automizely.com adds 76 ms
76 msautomizely.com costs a phone 76 ms of main-thread work and 396 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and automizely.com and others), adding 877 KiB and 432 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
32 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
17 KiBAbout 17 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.

Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 790 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.1 s
12.1 sYour largest element takes 12.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Topical Relief In 18 minutes”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.8 s
4.8 sThe first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 13.1 s
13.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.2 s
7.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
31 images without width and height
31 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 202 ms
202 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 202 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 181 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 181 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (54), other files 728 KiB (93) and fonts 195 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

43 automated accessibility rules passed

SEO
No H1 headline

Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://www.jointmud.com)”.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
24 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 24 pages on jointmuds.com and 3 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 123 characters

Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://jointmuds.com/policies/refund-policy and https://jointmuds.com/policies/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
