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
2.1 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 1.8 s
1.8 sShopify costs a phone 1.8 s of main-thread work and 866 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: 11.3 s
A phone's processor spends 11.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 16
16/100Your mobile performance score is 16. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
5,394 HTML elements
The page has 5,394 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 (Shopify, hsappstatic.net and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.9 MB and 2.9 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 735 KiB49 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (735 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
850 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 156 KiBAbout 156 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 516 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
hsappstatic.net adds 444 ms
444 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 444 ms of main-thread work and 720 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.
Klaviyo adds 150 ms
150 msKlaviyo costs a phone 150 ms of main-thread work and 339 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.
tidio.co adds 101 ms
101 mstidio.co costs a phone 101 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 84 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 84 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 63 KiB4 images could be 63 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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: 5.6 MB in 356 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 356 requests on a phone: scripts 3.6 MB (164), other files 783 KiB (100) and images 615 KiB (47). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 190.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
19 text elements with low contrast
19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

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.
10 links without text

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (8 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

SEO
No H1 headline

1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
280 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 280 pages on proaim.ca and 13 external pages.
6 checks passed
