Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 151 KiBAbout 151 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare, we1.top and Google Fonts), adding 16 KiB and 21 ms of main-thread time.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s
4.1 sYour largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Original photo”.
Time to Interactive: 5.4 s
5.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 325 ms
325 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 325 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 3.7 s
3.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.30 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.30 g of CO₂e: 35.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.0 MB in 81 requests
1.0 MBYour homepage downloads 1.0 MB in 81 requests on a phone: scripts 691 KiB (59), images 260 KiB (6) and stylesheets 49 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 20 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 0 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Free Perler Bead Pattern Maker — Photo to Bead Pattern | PixelMaster”.
Meta description is long (168 characters)
Your meta description is 168 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (FAQPage, Organization, SoftwareApplication and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.
No social preview image

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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.
