Speed

11 to fix51
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.0 s · 706 KiB

    About 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 s

    Google 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 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (142 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 950 ms.

  • Cloudflare CDN adds 335 ms

    335 ms

    Cloudflare 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 KiB

    12 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.4 s

    17.4 s

    Your 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 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 553 ms

    553 ms

    Scripts 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 85 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    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.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 0 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

3 to fix71
  • 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.

  • About 1,163 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,163 words of visible text.

4 checks passed

  • Phone number on the homepage

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot and LinkedIn Insight (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: HubSpot cookie banner

    A consent management tool (HubSpot cookie banner) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions
