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
1.0 s · 227 KiBAbout 227 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
750 ms · 124 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (124 KiB).
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and hubspotusercontent-na1.net and others), adding 947 KiB and 674 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 492 ms
492 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 492 ms of main-thread work and 369 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
350 ms · 29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Optanon adds 143 ms
143 msOptanon costs a phone 143 ms of main-thread work and 303 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.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 200 ms.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 192 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
21 KiB1 image could be 21 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 23 ms
23 msYour server sent the HTML in 23 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
1779884592-image-slide-3.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (81 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 49.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 82 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 82 requests on a phone: scripts 975 KiB (36), images 355 KiB (27) and fonts 73 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 111 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
