Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 s · 808 KiBAbout 808 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
1.3 s · 488 KiB14 images could be 488 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,191 HTML elements
The page has 3,191 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, seroundprince.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 474 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (474 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 389 ms
389 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 389 ms of main-thread work and 462 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 on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 304 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
ringcentral.com adds 166 ms
166 msringcentral.com costs a phone 166 ms of main-thread work and 302 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 · 96 KiBAbout 96 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 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.
