russellhendrix.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

6 images could be 171 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

About 88 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (27 KiB).

The page has 2,776 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, 506.io and Shopify and others), adding 570 KiB and 186 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 66 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Your largest element takes 9.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 222 requests on a phone: other files 830 KiB (105), scripts 511 KiB (70) and images 455 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2026-oct-browne.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
