PageSpeed Insights' synthetic Lighthouse run does not return a performance score for the homepage — the page is heavy enough that the lab analysis does not complete. That is a payload/weight signal in its own right: the site is past the point where standard tooling can profile it
The CrUX (Chrome User Experience Report) field dataset — actual visitors, not a synthetic test — classifies the homepage experience as SLOW. This is the real-world read that matters for rankings and bounce, and it is the strongest single data point to open on.
Field LCP is 3.8 s, above Google's 2.5 s "good" threshold. Largest Contentful Paint is what a buyer perceives as "when did the page actually show up," and 3.8 s for real users is squarely in the slow range — directly tied to the page-weight problem above.
An illustrative redesign that resolves each measured finding below. Concept art — not a live build or quoted scope.
