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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 557 KiBAbout 557 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 6.7 MB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.7 MB).
Improve image delivery
1,002 KiB16 images could be 1,002 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50 (desktop: 71). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 422 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
ZenDesk adds 239 ms
239 msZenDesk costs a phone 239 ms of main-thread work and 414 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.
2,579 HTML elements
The page has 2,579 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (ZenDesk, snitcher.com and VWO and others), adding 485 KiB and 295 ms of main-thread time.
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 JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
1 checks passed
Server response: 7 ms
7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Real-user INP: 252 ms
252 msReal visitors wait 252 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) got 28% slower for real visitors
+28%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.9 s
2.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s
1.1 sReal visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 589 ms
589 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 589 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 5.4 s
5.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 183 ms to 187 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
2 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002
0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.5 MB in 169 requests
11.5 MBYour homepage downloads 11.5 MB in 169 requests on a phone: media 8.4 MB (7), images 1.6 MB (70) and scripts 1.2 MB (46). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images far larger than shown
429 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 15_3b4c55bf8f_Z2pQ1f0.webp at 1,024 px wide, shown at 178 px. Resized copies would save about 429 KiB.
About 3.2 g of CO₂ per visit
3.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.25 g of CO₂e: 389.7 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
Interactive controls must not be nested (6 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
12 images without alt text
12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
13 form fields without a label
13 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
55 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

3 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
