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
1.1 s · 191 KiBAbout 191 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Framer CDN, flagcdn.com and Google Fonts and others), adding 13.9 MB and 403 ms of main-thread time.
Framer CDN adds 403 ms
403 msFramer CDN costs a phone 403 ms of main-thread work and 12.9 MB 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: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
2,494 HTML elements
The page has 2,494 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 982 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
JSDelivr CDN adds 0 ms
0 msJSDelivr CDN costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 576 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.
flagcdn.com adds 0 ms
0 msflagcdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 419 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 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 57 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
32 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (32 KiB).
Improve image delivery
22 KiB3 images could be 22 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: 14.0 MB in 151 requests
14.0 MBYour homepage downloads 14.0 MB in 151 requests on a phone: media 12.1 MB (5), other files 672 KiB (21) and scripts 577 KiB (43). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 4.0 g of CO₂ per visit
3.96 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.96 g of CO₂e: 475.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Interactive controls must not be nested (7 elements)

All page content should be contained by landmarks (31 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 31 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
