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
Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 332 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (332 KiB).
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 176 KiB3 images could be 176 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google Fonts and others), adding 889 KiB and 554 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
190 ms · 411 KiBAbout 411 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 190 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 393 ms
393 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 393 ms of main-thread work and 569 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 174 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 554 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 73 ms
73 msYour server sent the HTML in 73 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 9.9 s
9.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.1 s
4.1 sYour largest element takes 4.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Phones, tablets, laptops, wearables and servers”.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.6 s
3.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 234 ms
234 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 234 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 86 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.017
0.017The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.017, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
63 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example hero-devices.webp at 1,420 px wide, shown at 354 px. Resized copies would save about 63 KiB.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.45 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 54.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 43 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 43 requests on a phone: scripts 905 KiB (15), fonts 354 KiB (10) and images 309 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Form elements should have a visible label (1 element)
Form elements should have a visible label: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
2 linked pages are broken
