Decent speed, but optimizing further could improve engagement.
Several missing protections leave your users and data exposed.
Several issues make your site difficult for assistive technology users.
Well-optimized for search — your content is discoverable.
Solid infrastructure — fast server responses across the board.
Mostly compliant — a few items need attention.
Missing metadata means poor previews on social media and search.
Heavier than average — reducing page weight saves energy and bandwidth.
The overall score is a weighted average of individual category scores. Categories with more impact on user experience and security carry more weight.
Weights reflect general web best practices. Individual needs may differ.

Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Your LCP of 85.0s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. Accessibility issues exclude users who rely on assistive technology — an estimated 15% of your potential audience. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
8 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~29%.
Page takes 85.0s to load
+12% bounceUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 82.5s over the 2.5s threshold
Fix: Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
High main-thread blocking time
+2% bouncePage is non-interactive for 400ms after first paint
Fix: Defer third-party scripts and split large bundles
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
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, …)
38 link(s) with generic text ("click here", "read more")
+1% bounceScreen-reader users navigating by link list see no context — and search engines can't infer relevance
Fix: Rewrite with descriptive phrases that identify the destination
53 broken link(s) on the page
+5% bounceClicks land on 404s — trust drops and the session often ends
Fix: Fix or remove the broken destinations surfaced on the Content tab

Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.

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.

These are the largest layout shifts observed on the page. Each table item represents a single layout shift, and shows the element that shifted the most. Below each item are possible root causes that led to the layout shift. Some of these layout shifts may not be included in the CLS metric value due to windowing. Learn how to improve CLS
