One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 755 KiBAbout 755 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,048 HTML elements
The page has 4,048 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 1.0 MB30 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (naviplus.app, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 3.4 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 550 KiB71 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (550 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 112 KiBAbout 112 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
naviplus.app adds 457 ms
457 msnaviplus.app costs a phone 457 ms of main-thread work and 594 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.
Shopify adds 266 ms
266 msShopify costs a phone 266 ms of main-thread work and 2.3 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 279 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
51 KiB51 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 25.0 s
25.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 25.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.2 s
7.2 sYour largest element takes 7.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Fully ripened Ashley cheese oozing with creaminess, sliced …”.
Speed Index: 8.6 s
8.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
45 images without width and height
45 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 263 ms
263 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 263 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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: 6.3 MB in 640 requests
6.3 MBYour homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 640 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (97), scripts 1.9 MB (249) and other files 1.2 MB (235). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Equation-Logo_Black-Text.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
28 images below the first screen load straight away
28 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
151 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Equation-Logo_Black-Text.png at 8,192 px wide, shown at 324 px. Resized copies would save about 151 KiB.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.80 g of CO₂e: 215.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 47 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 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: 44 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness

No llms.txt
There is no https://mouco.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
