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
Signyfyd adds 1.3 s
1.3 sSignyfyd costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 257 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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 (Signyfyd, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 733 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 119 KiB6 images could be 119 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 359 ms
359 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 359 ms of main-thread work and 468 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.
2,994 HTML elements
The page has 2,994 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
289 KiBAbout 289 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
126 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (126 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 272 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 272 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (94), scripts 1.1 MB (87) and other files 674 KiB (73). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
S_B_new_homepage_banner.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
3 images far larger than shown
199 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example S_B_new_homepage_banner.png at 1,312 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 199 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (225 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.95 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.95 g of CO₂e: 114.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
125 links without text
125 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 117 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
11 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 11 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 11 passed and 0 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
