Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Your LCP of 4.7s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
9 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~32%.
Page takes 4.7s to load
+12% bounceUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 2.2s 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 202ms 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
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

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.

3rd party code can significantly impact load performance. Reduce and defer loading of 3rd party code to prioritize your page's content.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Layout shifts occur when elements move absent any user interaction. Investigate the causes of layout shifts, such as elements being added, removed, or their fonts changing as the page loads.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
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.

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.
