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
Main-thread work: 7.3 s
A phone's processor spends 7.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 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, Klaviyo and tidio.co and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
897 KiBAbout 897 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 428 ms
428 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 428 ms of main-thread work and 451 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 375 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
369 KiB15 images could be 369 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Klaviyo adds 290 ms
290 msKlaviyo costs a phone 290 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.
tidio.co adds 239 ms
239 mstidio.co costs a phone 239 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Google CDN adds 172 ms
172 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 172 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
249 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (249 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
58 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
44 KiBAbout 44 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sYour largest element takes 2.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Use code"HERO10" for 10% OFF🇺🇸 - ON ORDERS $100+”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).
1 image without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 336 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 336 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (122), images 1.6 MB (32) and other files 1.1 MB (136). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Titan_Shield_Gloss_Floor_Sealer_Mobile.jpg 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).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (43 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.56 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.56 g of CO₂e: 187.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
