Render-blocking requests
1.3 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Main-thread work: 12.5 s
A phone's processor spends 12.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
5,786 HTML elements
The page has 5,786 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and gotolstoy.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 948 KiBAbout 948 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 803 KiB39 images could be 803 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 670 ms
670 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 670 ms of main-thread work and 728 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
722 KiB31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (722 KiB).
Facebook adds 314 ms
314 msFacebook costs a phone 314 ms of main-thread work and 256 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 258 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 61 KiBAbout 61 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.
Legacy JavaScript
40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
23 KiB23 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify JavaScript
22 KiB22 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.

Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
