Google Tag Manager adds 1.1 s
1.1 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.3 MB 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.8 s
A phone's processor spends 8.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 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, datadoghq-browser-agent.com and Facebook and others), adding 3.0 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 515 KiB33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (515 KiB).
Improve image delivery
508 KiB15 images could be 508 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2,835 HTML elements
The page has 2,835 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
datadoghq-browser-agent.com adds 259 ms
259 msdatadoghq-browser-agent.com costs a phone 259 ms of main-thread work and 59 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.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 263 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 156 ms
156 msKlaviyo costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.
Shopify adds 47 ms
47 msShopify costs a phone 47 ms of main-thread work and 401 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.
Reduce unused CSS
30 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 30 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
57 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
22 KiB22 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
19 KiB19 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.5 MB in 568 requests
6.5 MBYour homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 568 requests on a phone: scripts 3.3 MB (123), other files 1.7 MB (362) and images 1.2 MB (53). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images far larger than shown
146 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 0311-encart-maintien-mob.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 146 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (51 KiB) is 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (130 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.85 g of CO₂e: 221.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
