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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
8.8 s · 44.3 MB126 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (44.3 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
vention.io adds 2.1 s
2.1 svention.io costs a phone 2.1 s of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.9 s
A phone's processor spends 8.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,583 HTML elements
The page has 3,583 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 (vention.io, ZenDesk and Facebook and others), adding 3.0 MB and 3.3 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
3.1 MB8 images could be 3.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 619 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
ZenDesk adds 435 ms
435 msZenDesk costs a phone 435 ms of main-thread work and 475 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 49 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 126 ms
126 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 126 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 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.

+50%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 171 ms to 267 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 73.6 MB in 234 requests
73.6 MBYour homepage downloads 73.6 MB in 234 requests on a phone: media 65.6 MB (8), images 4.3 MB (51) and scripts 3.4 MB (111). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 2.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
1.7 MB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example APP_FullFactoryFloor_Hero_V4.png at 4,096 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 1.7 MB.
9 images in older formats
9 images (4.1 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (894 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 20.9 g of CO₂ per visit
20.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 20.86 g of CO₂e: 2503.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
12 buttons without a name
12 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Required ARIA attributes must be provided (7 elements)
Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
17 text elements with low contrast
17 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 12 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
