Speed
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 100 KiBAbout 100 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 124 KiB9 images could be 124 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 34 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (34 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Trust Pilot and Shopify and others), adding 325 KiB and 137 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 13 KiBAbout 13 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.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
8 KiB8 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 296 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.6 s
6.6 sYour largest element takes 6.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Bundle up. Save up to 35% vs buying the keys separately.”.
Real-user TTFB: 966 ms
966 msReal visitors wait 966 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Time to Interactive: 6.6 s
6.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.5 s
3.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Total Blocking Time: 11 ms
11 msScripts block the page for only 11 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (36 KiB) is 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.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (122 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 52.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 201 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 201 requests on a phone: other files 865 KiB (130), scripts 397 KiB (46) and images 192 KiB (11). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
36 text elements with low contrast
36 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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 19 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 727 words of copy
The homepage carries about 727 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

16Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

24 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at nerdused.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
