Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 224 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (224 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 249 KiBAbout 249 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot and Cookiebot), adding 357 KiB and 136 ms of main-thread time.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 65 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
18 KiBAbout 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
17 KiB1 image could be 17 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
12 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 12 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.
