Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Your LCP of 8.2s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 2 performance issues below directly contribute to it. The 3 security gaps leave your users exposed — modern browsers increasingly warn visitors about insecure sites. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
10 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~34%.
Page takes 8.2s to load
+12% bounceUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 5.7s over the 2.5s threshold
Fix: Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
Page feels frozen for 817ms
+5% bounceClicks on the primary CTA are ignored while JavaScript runs
Fix: Break up long tasks; defer non-critical JavaScript to post-hydration
No HSTS header
+1% bounceReturning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request
Fix: Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
No Content-Security-Policy header
+1% bounceHigher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form
Fix: Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean
Severe layout shift during page load
+6% bounceUsers mis-click when content jumps — converting intent into frustration
Fix: Reserve space for images, ads, and embeds with explicit width/height
No Open Graph tags
+2% bounceLinks shared on LinkedIn / Slack / Facebook show bare URLs — referral clicks drop
Fix: Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url to the page head
No structured data
+2% bounceNo rich-result eligibility in Google — lower SERP CTR vs competitors with stars and prices
Fix: Add JSON-LD for your page type (Product, Article, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, …)
Thin content
+3% bounceUnder 300 words — visitors bounce looking for substance, search engines rank competitors first
Fix: Add a substantive FAQ, product detail, or case-study section
Content is hard to read
+2% bounceGraduate-level reading difficulty — limits the addressable audience for product or blog pages
Fix: Shorten sentences; replace jargon with plain language; target Flesch ease ≥60
No skip-to-content link
+1% bounceKeyboard and screen-reader users must tab through the entire header on every page
Fix: Add a visible-on-focus <a href="#main">Skip to content</a> as the first focusable element

Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Polyfills and transforms enable older browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. Consider modifying your JavaScript build process to not transpile Baseline features, unless you know you must support older browsers. Learn why most sites can deploy ES6+ code without transpiling
Shipping ES5 transpiled code to modern browsers wastes bytes — every user with an evergreen browser pays for compatibility you don't need.
Most users today run browsers that natively support ES6+, async/await, optional chaining, and the rest of modern JavaScript. Transpiling to ES5 'just in case' adds 20-40% to your bundle for no benefit. Configure your build to target a modern browserslist, or ship a differential bundle pair (modern + legacy) with the module/nomodule pattern.

Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript.
Multi-megabyte JavaScript bundles delay every interactive feature on the page.
This is the Lighthouse audit fired when too much JS is shipped relative to what executes. The fix isn't a config flag — it requires bundle analysis (webpack-bundle-analyzer, rollup-plugin-visualizer), splitting routes into chunks, lazy-loading off-screen components, and removing unused dependencies. Fundamentally different from minification: minifying reduces byte count, this reduces what's downloaded at all.

Polyfills and transforms enable older browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. Consider modifying your JavaScript build process to not transpile Baseline features, unless you know you must support older browsers. Learn why most sites can deploy ES6+ code without transpiling
Shipping ES5 transpiled code to modern browsers wastes bytes — every user with an evergreen browser pays for compatibility you don't need.
Most users today run browsers that natively support ES6+, async/await, optional chaining, and the rest of modern JavaScript. Transpiling to ES5 'just in case' adds 20-40% to your bundle for no benefit. Configure your build to target a modern browserslist, or ship a differential bundle pair (modern + legacy) with the module/nomodule pattern.

Your first network request is the most important. Reduce its latency by avoiding redirects, ensuring a fast server response, and enabling text compression.

Consider setting font-display to swap or optional to ensure text is consistently visible. swap can be further optimized to mitigate layout shifts with font metric overrides.

A forced reflow occurs when JavaScript queries geometric properties (such as offsetWidth) after styles have been invalidated by a change to the DOM state. This can result in poor performance. Learn more about forced reflows and possible mitigations.

Optimize LCP by making the LCP image discoverable from the HTML immediately, and avoiding lazy-loading
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Avoid chaining critical requests by reducing the length of chains, reducing the download size of resources, or deferring the download of unnecessary resources to improve page load.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Requests are blocking the page's initial render, which may delay LCP. Deferring or inlining can move these network requests out of the critical path.

Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript.
Multi-megabyte JavaScript bundles delay every interactive feature on the page.
This is the Lighthouse audit fired when too much JS is shipped relative to what executes. The fix isn't a config flag — it requires bundle analysis (webpack-bundle-analyzer, rollup-plugin-visualizer), splitting routes into chunks, lazy-loading off-screen components, and removing unused dependencies. Fundamentally different from minification: minifying reduces byte count, this reduces what's downloaded at all.
