belmark.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
4.3 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.3 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.6 s · 489 KiBAbout 489 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 360 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (360 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 136 KiBAbout 136 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 65). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 1.1 MB and 804 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 170 KiB5 images could be 170 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 466 ms
466 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 466 ms of main-thread work and 623 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 244 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 25 ms
25 msYour server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.7 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: 1.9 MB in 73 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 73 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (25), images 374 KiB (13) and stylesheets 169 KiB (7). 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
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
