Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 404 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (404 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. 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 (Yotpo, rebuyengine.com and truevaultcdn.com and others), adding 1.4 MB and 812 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 681 KiBAbout 681 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Yotpo adds 204 ms
204 msYotpo costs a phone 204 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 180 ms
180 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 180 ms of main-thread work and 332 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.
1,877 HTML elements
The page has 1,877 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 72 KiBAbout 72 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
201 KiB4 images could be 201 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 28 KiB28 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
44 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 44 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.1 MB in 279 requests
3.1 MBYour homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 279 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (120), other files 740 KiB (110) and images 504 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
114 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example VIVID_Hero_Square.png at 1,600 px wide, shown at 328 px. Resized copies would save about 114 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (221 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.88 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.88 g of CO₂e: 105.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 form fields without a label
7 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
