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
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 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, Klaviyo and Facebook and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 647 ms
647 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 647 ms of main-thread work and 690 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 JavaScript
652 KiBAbout 652 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
402 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (402 KiB).
Improve image delivery
326 KiB3 images could be 326 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Klaviyo adds 257 ms
257 msKlaviyo costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 525 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.
1,803 HTML elements
The page has 1,803 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 224 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
161 KiBAbout 161 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 12 ms
12 msYour server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.2 MB in 374 requests
7.2 MBYour homepage downloads 7.2 MB in 374 requests on a phone: images 3.8 MB (70), scripts 2.1 MB (156) and other files 862 KiB (125). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
9 images in older formats
9 images (1.1 MB) 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.
14 images below the first screen load straight away
14 images further down the page (685 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
2.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.04 g of CO₂e: 244.6 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
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
20 images without alt text
20 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
114 links without text
114 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
45 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: 45 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“RealCraft” and “Arched Entry Doors”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
22 links crawlers can't follow
22 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
253 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 253 pages on realcraft.com and 13 external pages.

AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
