Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 432 KiB9 images could be 432 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. 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 Tag Manager, TrustArc and Shopify and others), adding 860 KiB and 660 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 582 ms
582 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 582 ms of main-thread work and 461 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 383 KiBAbout 383 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.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 17 KiBAbout 17 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
29 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 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.

Time to Interactive: 10.4 s
10.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.1 s
5.1 sYour largest element takes 5.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Three white circular smoke detectors arranged in a fan shap…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.1 s).
11 images without width and height
11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 276 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 276 requests on a phone: other files 1.0 MB (192), scripts 950 KiB (47) and images 622 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
208 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example men-product.jpg at 2,037 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 208 KiB.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (459 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
3 images in older formats
3 images (294 KiB) are 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: 93.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Positive tabindex
4 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

Every image has alt text
All 33 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Fewer false alarms. Fewer callbacks.” and “Reliable fire safety, now connected”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image

No analytics detected
