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
2.6 s · 613 KiBAbout 613 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 567 KiB38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (567 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 90). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, osano.com and Adobe Tag Manager and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 451 ms
451 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 451 ms of main-thread work and 634 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.
osano.com adds 375 ms
375 msosano.com costs a phone 375 ms of main-thread work and 79 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.
Main-thread work: 3.7 s
A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 54 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 54 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
243 KiB3 images could be 243 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 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.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 218 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
65 KiB65 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 90 but mobile only 48. 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 21.3 s
21.3 sYour largest element takes 21.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Business funding up to $400K — built for simplicity. Apply …”.
First Contentful Paint: 7.6 s
7.6 sThe first text or image appears after 7.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 22.9 s
22.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 22.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.9 s
7.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 390 ms
390 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 390 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
application_phone.webp weighs 840 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 187 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 187 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (44), images 1.3 MB (48) and HTML 70 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (303 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.89 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.89 g of CO₂e: 107.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (1 element)
Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.

46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

6 third-party cookies

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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 1,011 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,011 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

6Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads FullStory, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
47 other companies contacted
