Speed
Google Tag Manager adds 6.2 s
6.2 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 6.2 s of main-thread work and 1.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.8 s · 980 KiBAbout 980 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 1.5 MB98 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.5 MB).
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 11.9 s
A phone's processor spends 11.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 9.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 23
23/100Your mobile performance score is 23 (desktop: 67). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Facebook and others), adding 2.3 MB and 7.4 s of main-thread time.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 2.4 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
504 KiB17 images could be 504 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Hotjar adds 272 ms
272 msHotjar costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 64 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.
2,215 HTML elements
The page has 2,215 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
17 KiBAbout 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 67 but mobile only 23. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 195 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 195 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (71), images 1.2 MB (53) and HTML 81 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images below the first screen load straight away
11 images further down the page (496 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image far larger than shown
71 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example brands.jpg at 960 px wide, shown at 256 px. Resized copies would save about 71 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (268 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
