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
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 1.0 MB and 783 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
740 KiB5 images could be 740 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
412 KiBAbout 412 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Klaviyo adds 226 ms
226 msKlaviyo costs a phone 226 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.
1,667 HTML elements
The page has 1,667 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
126 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (126 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
26 KiB26 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
DTS_BLOOM_Pointless_Agency_Photos_ID14740-2.jpg weighs 522 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 304 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 304 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (30), scripts 1.2 MB (101) and other files 839 KiB (128). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Frankfurter_Allgemeine_logo.svg 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 in older formats
3 images (1.0 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.
2 images far larger than shown
46 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example DTS_BLOOM_Pointless_Agency_Photos_ID14740-2.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 46 KiB.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 128.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

AI search readiness

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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 223 words
The homepage has only about 223 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
