building-blocks.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 67). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.5 s
A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,569 HTML elements
The page has 3,569 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 441 KiBAbout 441 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
650 ms · 179 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (179 KiB).
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 523 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (reddit, Cookiebot and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.4 MB and 308 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
rive.app adds 16 ms
16 msrive.app costs a phone 16 ms of main-thread work and 736 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 55 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
131 KiB3 images could be 131 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
49 KiB49 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 146 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.097

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 148 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 148 requests on a phone: other files 1.6 MB (17), scripts 1.0 MB (37) and images 808 KiB (71). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
15 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example campaigns-marketing-campaign-api-6.svg at 1,224 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 15 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (51 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 129.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed

Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
17 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Required ARIA attributes must be provided (1 element)
Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (49 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 49 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 102 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image

No X (Twitter) card tag

There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
