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
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s29 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 332 KiB4 images could be 332 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
1,956 HTML elements
The page has 1,956 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare and Google Fonts), adding 129 KiB and 13 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
20 KiBAbout 20 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
10 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4 KiB).
