Render-blocking requests
2.5 s10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.3 s · 230 KiBAbout 230 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 173 KiBAbout 173 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
700 ms · 71 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (71 KiB).
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 96 KiB2 images could be 96 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
1,602 HTML elements
The page has 1,602 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 (Usercentrics CMP, Google Tag Manager and drda.io and others), adding 504 KiB and 337 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 61 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.2 s

Server response: 6 ms

Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
8 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example RIB-Hub_Overall-image_V8_RIB-Hub_Overall-image_5-4-1024x819- at 1,024 px wide, shown at 327 px. Resized copies would save about 8 KiB.
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.35 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 41.8 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: 1.2 MB in 63 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 63 requests on a phone: scripts 643 KiB (28), images 215 KiB (8) and stylesheets 204 KiB (9). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
