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
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.1 s
A phone's processor spends 9.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.7 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 (Shopify, Klaviyo and trypalomar.com and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 588 KiB7 images could be 588 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 464 KiBAbout 464 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.
Shopify adds 404 ms
404 msShopify costs a phone 404 ms of main-thread work and 471 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
300 ms · 118 KiBAbout 118 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 395 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 311 ms
311 msKlaviyo costs a phone 311 ms of main-thread work and 317 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.
trypalomar.com adds 286 ms
286 mstrypalomar.com costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 369 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 150 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (150 KiB).
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
30 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 16 ms
16 msYour server sent the HTML in 16 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.9 s
9.9 sYour largest element takes 9.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Wildhawk absorbent underwear”.
Time to Interactive: 19.8 s
19.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s
1.5 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 7.8 s
7.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.1 s
3.1 sThe first text or image appears after 3.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 155 ms to 142 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Largest content (LCP) got 38% faster for real visitors
-38%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.2 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.011
0.011The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 337 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 337 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (180), images 1.2 MB (17) and other files 795 KiB (109). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (888 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images far larger than shown
22 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example find-image-02.png at 1,000 px wide, shown at 310 px. Resized copies would save about 22 KiB.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn'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 (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail 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.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
9 links with vague text
9 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
63 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 63 pages on wildhawk.co and 6 external pages.
