Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 592 KiBAbout 592 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 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 (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and posthog.com and others), adding 2.2 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 824 ms
824 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 824 ms of main-thread work and 527 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.
website-files.com adds 745 ms
745 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 745 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
550 ms · 77 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (77 KiB).
posthog.com adds 543 ms
543 msposthog.com costs a phone 543 ms of main-thread work and 227 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 543 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,801 HTML elements
The page has 1,801 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 21 KiB1 image could be 21 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.
Reduce unused CSS
26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 61 but mobile only 31. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Duplicated JavaScript
8 KiB8 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.
