One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
6.5 s · 1.3 MB1 image could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.5 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.5 s · 526 KiBAbout 526 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68 (desktop: 60). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.3 MB and 485 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
310 ms · 92 KiBAbout 92 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 228 ms
228 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 228 ms of main-thread work and 739 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 170 ms
170 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 326 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 17 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 44 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 44 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (20), scripts 1.1 MB (12) and other files 353 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed

Accessibility
ARIA roles used must conform to valid values (7 elements)
ARIA roles used must conform to valid values: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
2 buttons without a name

Links must have discernible text (7 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
11 images without alt text
11 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
3 form fields without a label

1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
