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
Main-thread work: 12.8 s
A phone's processor spends 12.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4,864 HTML elements
The page has 4,864 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, Shopify and heatmap.com and others), adding 2.1 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 966 KiBAbout 966 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 901 ms
901 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 901 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 508 KiB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (508 KiB).
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 447 KiB15 images could be 447 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 383 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 283 ms
283 msShopify costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 325 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.
heatmap.com adds 271 ms
271 msheatmap.com costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 95 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.
okendo.io adds 158 ms
158 msokendo.io costs a phone 158 ms of main-thread work and 350 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 CSS
150 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
13 KiB13 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.7 MB in 430 requests
12.7 MBYour homepage downloads 12.7 MB in 430 requests on a phone: media 7.1 MB (3), scripts 2.9 MB (169) and images 1.4 MB (55). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (149 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (51 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.6 g of CO₂ per visit
3.60 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.60 g of CO₂e: 432.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
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.

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

Other pages

Content and conversion
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof

No analytics detected

No direct contact details

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 276 words of copy
The homepage carries about 276 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
