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
Mobile performance score: 83
83/100Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Freshchat, omnisnippet1.com and fw-cdn.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 819 ms of main-thread time.
Freshchat adds 543 ms
543 msFreshchat costs a phone 543 ms of main-thread work and 806 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
415 KiBAbout 415 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
333 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (333 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,795 HTML elements
The page has 2,795 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 62 KiBAbout 62 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.
Improve image delivery
182 KiB8 images could be 182 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 13 ms

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 13.9 s
13.9 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 25% slower for real visitors
+25%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 131 ms to 169 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s
3.3 sYour largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Total Blocking Time: 373 ms
373 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 373 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
11 images without width and height
11 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 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 101 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 101 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (25), images 724 KiB (38) and stylesheets 130 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (761 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.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
53 text elements with low contrast
53 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is 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.
10 links without text
10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 407 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 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: 46 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (164 characters)
Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
190 internal links, 26 external
The homepage links to 190 pages on retrofam.com and 26 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
