Speed
Main-thread work: 9.4 s
A phone's processor spends 9.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, apigateway.co and Cookiebot and others), adding 1.5 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 970 ms
970 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 970 ms of main-thread work and 914 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.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
apigateway.co adds 711 ms
711 msapigateway.co costs a phone 711 ms of main-thread work and 55 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.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
592 KiBAbout 592 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 482 KiB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (482 KiB).
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 477 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Cookiebot adds 458 ms
458 msCookiebot costs a phone 458 ms of main-thread work and 32 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.
Improve image delivery
314 KiB10 images could be 314 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2,581 HTML elements
The page has 2,581 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
61 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 61 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
42 KiBAbout 42 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.
