Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 98). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and userway.org and others), adding 527 KiB and 393 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 201 KiBAbout 201 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 189 KiB8 images could be 189 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 125 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
104 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (104 KiB).
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.
