Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 932 KiBAbout 932 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
2.2 s · 1.1 MB32 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 s · 605 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (605 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Main-thread work: 8.2 s
A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,234 HTML elements
The page has 3,234 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
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 (Clarity, gotolstoy.com and dev-marqo.org and others), adding 1.2 MB and 716 ms of main-thread time.
gotolstoy.com adds 121 ms
121 msgotolstoy.com costs a phone 121 ms of main-thread work and 343 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.
Reduce unused CSS
280 ms · 43 KiBAbout 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 280 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 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).
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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: 7.8 MB in 461 requests
7.8 MBYour homepage downloads 7.8 MB in 461 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (118), scripts 2.3 MB (106) and fonts 2.0 MB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
NEW_MOBILE_x750_crop_center.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (420 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
103 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-swim-app-bg-water.png at 2,076 px wide, shown at 650 px. Resized copies would save about 103 KiB.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.21 g of CO₂e: 265.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (68 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 68 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
12 links without text

2 form fields without a label

1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
