Render-blocking requests
2.4 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,842 HTML elements
The page has 3,842 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 (Google CDN, Hotjar and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 718 KiB72 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (718 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
720 ms · 161 KiBAbout 161 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 720 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 564 ms
564 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 564 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 424 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 345 ms
345 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 345 ms of main-thread work and 375 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.
Hotjar adds 352 ms
352 msHotjar costs a phone 352 ms of main-thread work and 66 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.
Improve image delivery
227 KiB6 images could be 227 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 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.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 22.8 s
22.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 22.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.4 s
1.4 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.4 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 6.7 s
6.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 153% slower for real visitors
+153%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.6 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sYour largest element takes 2.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “For business customers we are the specialists in hybrid IT.…”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.2 s).
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 102 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 102 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (39), fonts 606 KiB (10) and other files 357 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (39 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.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 121.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
26 links without text
26 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
8 form fields without a label

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 21 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 528 words of copy
The homepage carries about 528 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

Phone number on the homepage

6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
19 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
