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
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.2 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 356 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (356 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.6 s
A phone's processor spends 5.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 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, cloudfront.net and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 550 KiB12 images could be 550 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 618 ms
618 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 618 ms of main-thread work and 678 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 101 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 101 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 278 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
cloudfront.net adds 257 ms
257 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 43 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.
2,426 HTML elements
The page has 2,426 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Constructor.io adds 60 ms
60 msConstructor.io costs a phone 60 ms of main-thread work and 301 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.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 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.

About 6.9 g of CO₂ per visit
6.92 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.92 g of CO₂e: 830.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
21 text elements with low contrast
21 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Zoom is disabled

1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 425 words of copy
The homepage carries about 425 words of visible text.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

34 calls to action

Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
43 cookies set on arrival
43Opening the homepage sets 43 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
54 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 54 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
