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
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 928 KiBAbout 928 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 362 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (362 KiB).
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 1.7 MB19 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, alia-prod.com and cloudfront.net and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 432 ms
432 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 432 ms of main-thread work and 539 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
350 ms · 79 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 79 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
cloudfront.net adds 111 ms
111 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 111 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 154 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.

Speed Index: 7.5 s

Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 156 ms to 192 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 405 ms
405 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 405 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
13 images without width and height
13 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB in 357 requests
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB in 357 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (113), images 1.9 MB (52) and other files 846 KiB (164). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images far larger than shown
467 KiB7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-category-bundles_1000x1000.jpg at 1,000 px wide, shown at 250 px. Resized copies would save about 467 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (66 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.46 g of CO₂e: 174.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed

Accessibility
10 text elements with low contrast
10 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.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 53 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
