Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.8 s · 572 KiBAbout 572 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.
9,576 HTML elements
The page has 9,576 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 70). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Optanon and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.3 MB and 725 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 145 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (145 KiB).
Google CDN adds 445 ms
445 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 445 ms of main-thread work and 734 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: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Optanon adds 129 ms
129 msOptanon costs a phone 129 ms of main-thread work and 408 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 · 72 KiBAbout 72 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 175 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.
Improve image delivery
65 KiB4 images could be 65 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

1 image in older formats
1 image (197 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.
