Render-blocking requests
1.4 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 8.7 s
A phone's processor spends 8.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Adobe Tag Manager, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 897 KiB78 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (897 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Adobe Tag Manager adds 599 ms
599 msAdobe Tag Manager costs a phone 599 ms of main-thread work and 152 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
150 ms · 386 KiB19 images could be 386 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 391 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 206 ms
206 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 206 ms of main-thread work and 357 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.
Google Maps adds 174 ms
174 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 174 ms of main-thread work and 354 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
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

9 tap targets too small
9 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
