Speed

5 to fix88
  • Mobile performance score: 88

    88/100

    Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and revue.us and others), adding 739 KiB and 522 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 366 ms

    366 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 366 ms of main-thread work and 509 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 978 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 234 KiB

    About 234 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    171 KiB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (171 KiB).

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 151 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    84 KiB

    3 images could be 84 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 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.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.5 MB in 84 requests

    3.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 84 requests on a phone: media 2.0 MB (1), scripts 811 KiB (21) and images 514 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.98 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    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

1 to fix100
  • 4 links without text

    4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 42 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

4 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details; logo would complete it.

Best practices

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

  • Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 627 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 627 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Apply Now” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at thepatch.farm, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
