Speed
Main-thread work: 4.6 s
A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 82
82/100Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 380 KiB and 602 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
329 KiBAbout 329 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Cookiebot adds 275 ms
275 msCookiebot costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 40 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 260 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 39 KiBAbout 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
138 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (138 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 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.
Improve image delivery
5 KiB1 image could be 5 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
