Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 670 KiBAbout 670 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 1.4 MB21 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 227 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (227 KiB).
3,029 HTML elements
The page has 3,029 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 Tag Manager, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 1.7 MB and 877 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 403 ms
403 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 403 ms of main-thread work and 848 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: 3.7 s
A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 25 KiB25 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Shopify adds 130 ms
130 msShopify costs a phone 130 ms of main-thread work and 422 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 · 40 KiBAbout 40 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

First Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

Total Blocking Time: 231 ms
231 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 231 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 19% slower for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.2 MB in 358 requests
5.2 MBYour homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 358 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (144), images 1.7 MB (35) and other files 1.3 MB (144). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
106 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Untitled_design-High-Quality_84.jpg at 2,820 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 106 KiB.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (375 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
3 images in older formats
3 images (224 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.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.47 g of CO₂e: 176.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (5 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (3 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
18 links without text
18 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 10 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Groom with confidence”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
163 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 163 pages on masterclip.co.uk and 6 external pages.
