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
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 1.0 MB19 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
2,996 HTML elements
The page has 2,996 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and Plausible and others), adding 163 KiB and 252 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 23 KiBAbout 23 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
18 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (18 KiB).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB in 203 requests
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 203 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (26), other files 883 KiB (128) and scripts 319 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
9 images in older formats
9 images (932 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.
1 image far larger than shown
56 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example badbunny_logo.webp at 300 px wide, shown at 54 px. Resized copies would save about 56 KiB.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
