Speed
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (nitrocdn.com, Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
460 ms · 624 KiBAbout 624 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 78). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
nitrocdn.com adds 710 ms
710 msnitrocdn.com costs a phone 710 ms of main-thread work and 578 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 551 ms
551 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 551 ms of main-thread work and 683 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: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,724 HTML elements
The page has 2,724 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 267 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 72 KiBAbout 72 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
184 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (184 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 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.

Server response: 40 ms
40 msYour server sent the HTML in 40 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

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: 56.5 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: 1.7 MB in 65 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 65 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (30), fonts 132 KiB (4) and stylesheets 89 KiB (11). 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.

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.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
44 images without alt text
44 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (2 elements)

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
51 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: 51 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
