Speed
Reduce unused CSS
42 KiBAbout 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
32 KiB2 images could be 32 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (JSDelivr CDN and Cloudflare CDN), adding 13 KiB and 3 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

Images and page weight
About 0.1 g of CO₂ per visit
0.14 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.14 g of CO₂e: 16.8 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: 506 KiB in 22 requests
506 KiBYour homepage downloads 506 KiB in 22 requests on a phone: images 410 KiB (16), stylesheets 67 KiB (4) and HTML 28 KiB (1). 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
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.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has 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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Your title is only 29 characters: “Advanced data solutions | C&F”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
