Reduce unused JavaScript
5.6 s · 824 KiBAbout 824 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.6 s33 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.
Improve image delivery
5.4 MB3 images could be 5.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 1.6 MB and 739 ms of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 446 ms
446 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 446 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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 Tag Manager adds 181 ms
181 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 181 ms of main-thread work and 341 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.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
24 KiBAbout 24 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
23 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (23 KiB).
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.9 MB in 107 requests
9.9 MBYour homepage downloads 9.9 MB in 107 requests on a phone: images 7.5 MB (15), scripts 1.7 MB (44) and other files 367 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (50 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.82 g of CO₂e: 338.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

50 automated accessibility rules passed

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
A 8-field form
Your longest form asks for 8 fields (5 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
