Reduce unused JavaScript
4.0 s · 706 KiBAbout 706 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.0 s faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.0 s
1.0 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 1.3 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare CDN and Hubspot and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 142 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (142 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 950 ms.
Cloudflare CDN adds 335 ms
335 msCloudflare CDN costs a phone 335 ms of main-thread work and 63 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: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
275 KiB12 images could be 275 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 252 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,968 HTML elements
The page has 1,968 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 51. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

17.4 sYour largest element takes 17.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, serve p…”.
Time to Interactive: 17.5 s
17.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 17.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.6 s
5.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 553 ms
553 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 553 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 85 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 85 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (30), images 438 KiB (22) and fonts 186 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 17 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
