lawnstarter.com website review

About 746 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.1 s faster on a phone.

18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (397 KiB).

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 344 ms of main-thread work and 683 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.

8 images could be 359 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

website-files.com costs a phone 63 ms of main-thread work and 900 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.

Google Maps costs a phone 102 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

34 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

About 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.

11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

13 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The page becomes fully interactive after 18.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 5.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 839 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 312 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 198 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 115 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (52), images 617 KiB (25) and fonts 151 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images (90 KiB) 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 96.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
