Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.3 s · 1.9 MB87 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.9 MB).
Render-blocking requests
3.3 s33 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.3 s.
Improve image delivery
1.9 s · 441 KiB9 images could be 441 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.2 s · 220 KiBAbout 220 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 236 KiBAbout 236 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 125 ms
125 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.
Font display
250 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, jit.si and Google Analytics), adding 342 KiB and 137 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
1 long task on the main thread

Minify JavaScript
23 KiB23 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
