One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
820 ms · 751 KiBAbout 751 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 820 ms faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (zohocdn.com, Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics CMP and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 251 KiB6 images could be 251 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
550 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 550 ms).
zohocdn.com adds 441 ms
441 mszohocdn.com costs a phone 441 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 69 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (69 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 326 ms
326 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 326 ms of main-thread work and 399 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.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
125 KiBAbout 125 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 106 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
7 KiB7 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.
1 checks passed
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 13.5 s
13.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.5 s
5.5 sYour largest element takes 5.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 5.1 s
5.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
3 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 169 ms
169 msScripts block the page for only 169 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.009
0.009The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.009, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 248 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 248 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (88), other files 731 KiB (89) and images 382 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
SR-TBLHEX01-CWH_HPA.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).
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.87 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 103.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
18 text elements with low contrast
18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 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.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Only about 238 words
The homepage has only about 238 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
3 checks passed
