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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 405 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (405 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 33
33/100Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,735 HTML elements
The page has 4,735 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 (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Facebook and others), adding 3.4 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 974 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 365 KiBAbout 365 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 677 ms
677 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 677 ms of main-thread work and 383 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.
website-files.com adds 426 ms
426 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 426 ms of main-thread work and 2.4 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 83 KiBAbout 83 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
407 KiB3 images could be 407 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Facebook adds 252 ms
252 msFacebook costs a phone 252 ms of main-thread work and 201 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.
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 130 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 130 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (30), other files 1.1 MB (46) and images 978 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
334 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 68e5224e8f8a9fd7bc69f609_sevdesk-dashboard-mockup-laptop.web at 3,642 px wide, shown at 366 px. Resized copies would save about 334 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (261 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.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 128.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (4 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
88 form fields without a label
88 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (FAQPage, Product, SoftwareApplication and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Product: no offers (price) block”.
6 links crawlers can't follow

No llms.txt
