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
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.1 s · 2.3 MBAbout 2.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.1 s · 1.0 MB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).
Render-blocking requests
5.4 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.4 s.
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.
namastay.io adds 1.3 s
1.3 snamastay.io costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 2.9 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: 26
26/100Your mobile performance score is 26 (desktop: 39). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.6 s
A phone's processor spends 7.6 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, namastay.io and Olark and others), adding 5.5 MB and 4.0 s of main-thread time.
Olark adds 462 ms
462 msOlark costs a phone 462 ms of main-thread work and 450 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 407 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 97 KiBAbout 97 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 55 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
thehotelsnetwork.com adds 144 ms
144 msthehotelsnetwork.com costs a phone 144 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
31 KiB5 images could be 31 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.7 MB in 193 requests
6.7 MBYour homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 193 requests on a phone: scripts 4.5 MB (66), fonts 1.3 MB (23) and images 647 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.90 g of CO₂e: 228.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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 (2 elements)

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 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.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
41 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 41 pages on xvbeacon.com and 10 external pages.

Content and conversion
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link

About 313 words of copy
The homepage carries about 313 words of visible text.
