mudflapinc.com website review

14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

Your mobile performance score is 19 (desktop: 55). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 9.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 2.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Wistia, Google Tag Manager and YouTube and others), adding 3.8 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.

35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (596 KiB).

About 202 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.

Wistia costs a phone 552 ms of main-thread work and 455 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.

YouTube costs a phone 492 ms of main-thread work and 963 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 502 ms of main-thread work and 759 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 341 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

website-files.com costs a phone 236 ms of main-thread work and 817 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.

ZenDesk costs a phone 172 ms of main-thread work and 414 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.

7 images could be 208 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 59 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Desktop scores 55 but mobile only 19. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

The page becomes fully interactive after 41.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Mudflap video testimonial”.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The layout shifts by 0.387 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

The first text or image appears after 3.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 145 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 329 requests on a phone: scripts 4.8 MB (154), images 553 KiB (51) and fonts 305 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

6aab15a7608e8b79043809a3_player-doug-kline.avif 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).

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 6aab15a7608e8b79043809a3_player-doug-kline.avif at 1,260 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 17 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.71 g of CO₂e: 205.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 35 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

Structured data found (FAQPage, Organization and SoftwareApplication) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.

7 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 430 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar and 7 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 36 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 78 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
