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
3,625 HTML elements
The page has 3,625 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 1.4 MB29 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 84 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (84 KiB).
Duplicated JavaScript
500 ms · 39 KiB39 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (rebuyengine.com, Klaviyo and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.0 MB and 408 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
362 KiBAbout 362 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 761 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
rebuyengine.com adds 168 ms
168 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 168 ms of main-thread work and 486 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 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).
Reduce unused CSS
49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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: 5.9 MB in 292 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 292 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (71), scripts 1.0 MB (90) and other files 681 KiB (73). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (30 KiB) is 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 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.67 g of CO₂e: 200.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
24 links without text
24 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Hidden but focusable
20 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
