Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Main-thread work: 16.4 s
A phone's processor spends 16.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 8.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.2 s
1.2 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 1,008 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Signyfyd adds 1.3 s
1.3 sSignyfyd costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 263 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 19
19/100Your mobile performance score is 19. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,223 HTML elements
The page has 3,223 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 (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and negate.io and others), adding 7.3 MB and 4.0 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
750 ms · 726 KiB36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (726 KiB).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 868 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 206 ms
206 msShopify costs a phone 206 ms of main-thread work and 5.3 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.
negate.io adds 537 ms
537 msnegate.io costs a phone 537 ms of main-thread work and 40 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.
alia-prod.com adds 283 ms
283 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 283 ms of main-thread work and 256 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.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 195 KiB7 images could be 195 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
16 KiBAbout 16 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Duplicated JavaScript
11 KiB11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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 JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

3 images in older formats
3 images (398 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
