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
3.6 s · 994 KiBAbout 994 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
4,419 HTML elements
The page has 4,419 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 (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.8 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 83). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 402 ms
402 msShopify costs a phone 402 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
431 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (431 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 202 ms
202 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 202 ms of main-thread work and 374 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.
Yotpo adds 130 ms
130 msYotpo costs a phone 130 ms of main-thread work and 399 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
210 KiB10 images could be 210 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
27 KiB27 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 83 but mobile only 53. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

225 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 225 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 207 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (108), images 774 KiB (28) and fonts 276 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.99 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.99 g of CO₂e: 118.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed

SEO
Title is short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “Novita - Since 1928”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image

No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 139 pages on novita.com and 6 external pages.

AI search readiness

No llms.txt
There is no https://novita.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
