Render-blocking requests
6.5 s33 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 6.5 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 752 KiBAbout 752 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.2 s · 402 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (402 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 73). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 774 KiB5 images could be 774 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, ContentSquare and Google CDN and others), adding 1.3 MB and 631 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 221 ms
221 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 467 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: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,997 HTML elements
The page has 1,997 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Google CDN adds 96 ms
96 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 96 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 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.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 148 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 148 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (49), fonts 1.2 MB (10) and images 1.1 MB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
34 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example f-real-ON-TOP-logo-colour-on-light-bg-1-LCzwc2.png-e17459434 at 390 px wide, shown at 96 px. Resized copies would save about 34 KiB.

1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 525 words of copy
The homepage carries about 525 words of visible text.
