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
Render-blocking requests
3.7 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.7 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 189 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (189 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 97). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 136 KiBAbout 136 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 112 KiBAbout 112 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Hubspot), adding 197 KiB and 133 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
12 KiB1 image could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 97 but mobile only 69. 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 247 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 24 ms
24 msYour server sent the HTML in 24 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals

First Contentful Paint: 4.0 s
4.0 sThe first text or image appears after 4.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s
1.0 sReal visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 5.2 s
5.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 5.2 s
5.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.20 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.20 g of CO₂e: 24.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 739 KiB in 36 requests
739 KiBYour homepage downloads 739 KiB in 36 requests on a phone: scripts 316 KiB (8), fonts 202 KiB (4) and stylesheets 125 KiB (17). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
9 links without text
9 links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
SEO
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
100 internal links, 23 external
The homepage links to 100 pages on patchmypc.com and 23 external pages.
