Speed
Avoid multiple page redirects
7.2 sThe page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 7.2 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,642 HTML elements
The page has 3,642 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 (sculpd.com, gettixel.com and Shopify and others), adding 4.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
440 ms · 510 KiBAbout 510 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 440 ms faster on a phone.
sculpd.com adds 434 ms
434 mssculpd.com costs a phone 434 ms of main-thread work and 2.5 MB 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.
Improve image delivery
665 KiB13 images could be 665 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
466 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (466 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 101 KiBAbout 101 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 265 ms
265 msShopify costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 944 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.
gettixel.com adds 325 ms
325 msgettixel.com costs a phone 325 ms of main-thread work and 7 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
300 ms · 24 KiB24 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Attentive adds 153 ms
153 msAttentive costs a phone 153 ms of main-thread work and 489 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.
Document request latency
100 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 100 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 92 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
37 KiB37 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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: 5.6 MB in 438 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 438 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (149), images 1.6 MB (55) and other files 1.2 MB (178). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

6 images in older formats
6 images (813 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (40 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 191.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text

All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages

sculpd.fr has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
