Speed
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 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 (Signyfyd, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 210 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (210 KiB).
Signyfyd adds 976 ms
976 msSignyfyd costs a phone 976 ms of main-thread work and 263 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: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
340 ms · 242 KiBAbout 242 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 340 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 426 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Improve image delivery
256 KiB10 images could be 256 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Shopify adds 156 ms
156 msShopify costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 476 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.
okendo.io adds 108 ms
108 msokendo.io costs a phone 108 ms of main-thread work and 335 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
41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
30 KiBAbout 30 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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

15.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 15.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.7 s

Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sYour largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Three tiers of professional-grade warmth for serious cold-w…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 272 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 272 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (120), images 856 KiB (37) and other files 708 KiB (86). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (31 KiB) is 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.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.95 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.95 g of CO₂e: 114.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

Other pages

1 page without a meta description
https://www.ventureheat.com/pages/help-center has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion

No analytics detected

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.
No risk reducer
