Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 2.1 MB32 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.1 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.3 s · 1.4 MB10 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.2 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40 (desktop: 66). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 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 (Google Tag Manager, YouTube and Google CDN and others), adding 5.4 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 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.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 360 KiBAbout 360 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 843 ms
843 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 843 ms of main-thread work and 682 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.
YouTube adds 611 ms
611 msYouTube costs a phone 611 ms of main-thread work and 970 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 CDN adds 538 ms
538 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 538 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.
cloudfront.net adds 141 ms
141 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 141 ms of main-thread work and 2.4 MB 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 315 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,966 HTML elements
The page has 1,966 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Amazon Web Services adds 16 ms
16 msAmazon Web Services costs a phone 16 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Minify JavaScript
72 KiB72 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 66 but mobile only 40. 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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sThe first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 849 ms
849 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 849 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 47% slower for real visitors
+47%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 3.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
8 images without width and height
8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 98 ms to 111 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.1 MB in 98 requests
6.1 MBYour homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 98 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (24), images 2.2 MB (27) and fonts 425 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
307 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 1.webp at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 307 KiB.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.72 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.72 g of CO₂e: 206.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (38 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 38 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (68 characters)
Your title is 68 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Luxury Texas Real Estate & Homes For Sale | Phyllis Browning Company”.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
236 internal links, 11 external

AI search readiness

No llms.txt

Other pages
