Speed
Google Tag Manager adds 1.1 s
1.1 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 702 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 6.5 s
A phone's processor spends 6.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,286 HTML elements
The page has 3,286 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, nitrocdn.com and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 1.9 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
566 KiBAbout 566 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 495 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
nitrocdn.com adds 339 ms
339 msnitrocdn.com costs a phone 339 ms of main-thread work and 497 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.
Accessibe Accessibility Overlay adds 293 ms
293 msAccessibe Accessibility Overlay costs a phone 293 ms of main-thread work and 243 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.
Facebook adds 285 ms
285 msFacebook costs a phone 285 ms of main-thread work and 225 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
275 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (275 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
80 KiBAbout 80 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
53 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 53 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.
