Speed
onelink-edge.com adds 1.2 s
1.2 sonelink-edge.com costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 77 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 10.9 s
A phone's processor spends 10.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,294 HTML elements
The page has 3,294 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 (onelink-edge.com, gotolstoy.com and Klevu Search and others), adding 2.7 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 1.3 MB58 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
Render-blocking requests
800 ms12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 526 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
gotolstoy.com adds 361 ms
361 msgotolstoy.com costs a phone 361 ms of main-thread work and 571 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 168 ms
168 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 168 ms of main-thread work and 957 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.
Klaviyo adds 127 ms
127 msKlaviyo costs a phone 127 ms of main-thread work and 317 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 · 96 KiBAbout 96 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.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 137 KiB7 images could be 137 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
81 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 81 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
15 KiB15 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: 39.8 MB in 784 requests
39.8 MBYour homepage downloads 39.8 MB in 784 requests on a phone: media 29.2 MB (5), scripts 4.3 MB (240) and images 3.5 MB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 5.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images in older formats
2 images (5.4 MB) are 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Resize_image_project_-_August_24_2026_at_15.07.29_92c213a1-1 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).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (63 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 11.3 g of CO₂ per visit
11.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.28 g of CO₂e: 1353.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)

Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
14 images without alt text
14 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
23 links without text
23 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
58 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 64 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 58 passed and 6 failed. 7 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
