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
Google Tag Manager adds 1.1 s
1.1 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.0 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, Facebook and Clarity and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 87). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
588 KiBAbout 588 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
329 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (329 KiB).
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 326 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 288 ms
288 msFacebook costs a phone 288 ms of main-thread work and 310 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: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 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
159 KiB9 images could be 159 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 71 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 71 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (26), images 442 KiB (19) and fonts 85 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
