Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.7 s · 211 KiBAbout 211 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
7,285 HTML elements
The page has 7,285 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Vimeo adds 7 ms
7 msVimeo costs a phone 7 ms of main-thread work and 390 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
150 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 33 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Vimeo), adding 390 KiB and 7 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
28 KiB1 image could be 28 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 95 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
