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
Improve image delivery
4.1 s · 2.1 MB24 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.4 s38 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 30
30/100Your mobile performance score is 30 (desktop: 52). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.5 s
A phone's processor spends 7.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.8 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 MBAbout 2.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
YouTube adds 905 ms
905 msYouTube costs a phone 905 ms of main-thread work and 2.0 MB 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
591 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (591 KiB).
Google CDN adds 480 ms
480 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 480 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 461 ms
461 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 461 ms of main-thread work and 528 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
300 ms · 204 KiBAbout 204 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
tailwindcss.com adds 401 ms
401 mstailwindcss.com costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 124 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 239 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.1 MB in 231 requests
10.1 MBYour homepage downloads 10.1 MB in 231 requests on a phone: scripts 4.5 MB (75), images 3.4 MB (52) and fonts 1.3 MB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
10 images in older formats
10 images (1.6 MB) are 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.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
home-banner-changes-new-1-768x348.png 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).
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (73 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.9 g of CO₂ per visit
2.88 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.88 g of CO₂e: 345.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (3 elements)

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 65 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 9 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
