a2xaccounting.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 389 KiBAbout 389 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 358 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (358 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 991 KiB and 692 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 444 ms
444 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 444 ms of main-thread work and 649 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 188 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
12 KiB1 image could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 51 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 51 requests on a phone: scripts 983 KiB (15), images 342 KiB (18) and other files 124 KiB (12). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 189 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
32 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
