startechtel.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
5,022 HTML elements
The page has 5,022 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 198 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (198 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Shopify and others), adding 650 KiB and 530 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 138 KiBAbout 138 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 264 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 79 KiB3 images could be 79 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
