Render-blocking requests
4.1 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Mailchimp and intuit.com and others), adding 7.1 MB and 127 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 122 ms
122 msShopify costs a phone 122 ms of main-thread work and 7.0 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 105 KiBAbout 105 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 500 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,005 HTML elements
The page has 2,005 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 53 KiB4 images could be 53 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 15 KiBAbout 15 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 60 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
24 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (24 KiB).
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.

Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.4 MB in 202 requests
8.4 MBYour homepage downloads 8.4 MB in 202 requests on a phone: media 6.7 MB (1), other files 754 KiB (83) and scripts 524 KiB (74). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)

Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Every image has alt text
All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (698 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.trueface.co.uk/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages

Content and conversion
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 312 words of copy
The homepage carries about 312 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Subscribe”.

9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (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.
14 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 14 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 trueface.co.uk, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
