Speed
5,194 HTML elements
The page has 5,194 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 81
81/100Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 235 ms
235 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 235 ms of main-thread work and 314 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 794 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Clarity and others), adding 741 KiB and 381 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 170 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
156 KiBAbout 156 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Improve image delivery
23 KiB2 images could be 23 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
18 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (18 KiB).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 262 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 262 requests on a phone: other files 1.0 MB (162), scripts 790 KiB (63) and images 694 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
1 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example iphone-18-pro-alcantara-case-wine-red-burgundy.png at 700 px wide, shown at 232 px. Resized copies would save about 1 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (38 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.78 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
11 buttons without a name
11 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
11 tap targets too small
11 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
