Speed
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (cloudfront.net, thehotelsnetwork.com and Vimeo), adding 10.2 MB and 79 ms of main-thread time.
Vimeo adds 0 ms
0 msVimeo costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 10.0 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.
Mobile performance score: 86
86/100Your mobile performance score is 86 (desktop: 99). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 52 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
27 KiBAbout 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
14 KiB1 image could be 14 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.
