argonaudio.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.0 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.
4,301 HTML elements
The page has 4,301 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.2 s
A phone's processor spends 4.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. 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 (loox.io, elev.io and Klaviyo and others), adding 612 KiB and 514 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 227 KiBAbout 227 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
200 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
154 KiB5 images could be 154 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
59 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (59 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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 CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.8 MB in 210 requests
7.8 MBYour homepage downloads 7.8 MB in 210 requests on a phone: media 4.3 MB (1), images 1.6 MB (49) and scripts 967 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
ARGFENRISA4ASH_O_1_d293cd2d-3469-4314-bd44-2afff90b441f.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.22 g of CO₂e: 265.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
20 links without text
20 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
