Render-blocking requests
2.8 s43 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.8 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 708 KiBAbout 708 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Clarity and others), adding 1.1 MB and 898 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 175 KiBAbout 175 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 624 ms
624 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 624 ms of main-thread work and 998 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.
Main-thread work: 2.7 s
A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 193 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
95 KiB1 image could be 95 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
51 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Time to Interactive: 20.6 s
20.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.1 s
9.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.6 s
3.6 sThe first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

Real-user TTFB: 808 ms
808 msReal visitors wait 808 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.6 s
3.6 sYour largest element takes 3.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “PROFESSIONAL NATION WIDE PRINTING.”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.3 s).
Total Blocking Time: 378 ms
378 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 378 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 150 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 150 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (43), fonts 941 KiB (10) and images 451 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (170 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (158 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.92 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.92 g of CO₂e: 110.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
38 text elements with low contrast
38 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“PROFESSIONAL NATION WIDE PRINTING.”, “What Is Web Growth in Printing? Causes, Effects, …” and “Pre-Print Instructions & Customer Resources”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

The homepage links to 83 pages on publicationprinters.com and 14 external pages.
