Why it matters
Slow pages lose visitors before they've seen anything, and page experience is one of the signals Google uses. Heavy pages also cost your visitors' data allowance.
How Patch checks
We measure Largest Contentful Paint and the total bytes transferred while loading your homepage in a desktop browser from a data centre. Real visitors on phones will usually be slower, so treat our number as a best case.
How to fix it
- Your homepage took too long to show its main content and transferred a lot of data.
- Compress and resize the biggest images, and serve them as WebP or AVIF.
- Defer scripts that aren't needed for the first view, and preload the hero image and main font.
Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.
