One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.9 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 217 KiBAbout 217 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 78 KiBAbout 78 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 303 ms
303 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 303 ms of main-thread work and 312 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, 910 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, datagrail.io and Google Fonts and others), adding 521 KiB and 352 ms of main-thread time.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 231 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 24 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (24 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
48 KiB1 image could be 48 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.

Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

9.8 sYour largest element takes 9.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “When you visit our sites, we store cookies on your browser …”.
First Contentful Paint: 6.3 s
6.3 sThe first text or image appears after 6.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 9.8 s
9.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.0 s
7.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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: 2.2 s

Real-user TTFB: 1.5 s
1.5 sReal visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 217 ms
217 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 217 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 108 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Largest content (LCP) got 19% faster for real visitors
-19%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.9 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006
0.006The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
kellerhomeloans-logo-rgb-300x78.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.9 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: 1.7 MB in 81 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 81 requests on a phone: scripts 660 KiB (28), fonts 483 KiB (11) and images 394 KiB (9). 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
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (5 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Positive tabindex
1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
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 (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 2 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
There is no https://kwlends.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (895 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

https://kwlends.com/mortgage-rates is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://kwlends.com/mortgage-application has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://kwlends.com/mortgage-application has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages slow to respond
