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
3,248 HTML elements
The page has 3,248 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 226 KiBAbout 226 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 997 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and qualified.com and others), adding 326 KiB and 248 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 33 KiBAbout 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
36 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (36 KiB).
Improve image delivery
16 KiB1 image could be 16 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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: 13.3 MB in 79 requests
13.3 MBYour homepage downloads 13.3 MB in 79 requests on a phone: media 12.3 MB (1), scripts 736 KiB (38) and images 79 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit
3.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.76 g of CO₂e: 451.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
6 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
