virta.global does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Google Tag Manager adds 1.7 s
1.7 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.7 s of main-thread work and 1.6 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.
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
Main-thread work: 8.2 s
A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.5 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, hsappstatic.net and Cookiebot and others), adding 3.7 MB and 3.5 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 MB86 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
hsappstatic.net adds 516 ms
516 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 516 ms of main-thread work and 714 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.
myheadq.com adds 311 ms
311 msmyheadq.com costs a phone 311 ms of main-thread work and 1,001 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 383 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Cookiebot adds 333 ms
333 msCookiebot costs a phone 333 ms of main-thread work and 40 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.
Hubspot adds 302 ms
302 msHubspot costs a phone 302 ms of main-thread work and 144 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.
2,074 HTML elements
The page has 2,074 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
50 KiBAbout 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
13 KiB1 image could be 13 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Domain and trust
No CAA record
virta.global has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

Email authentication

Email authentication score: 75/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
