Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 271 KiBAbout 271 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 314 KiB5 images could be 314 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. 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 (Intercom, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 924 KiB and 533 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
250 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 145 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 33 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (33 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 324 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 324 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (169), other files 948 KiB (128) and images 563 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
163 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example cb-home-hero-bordeau-30-v1.webp at 1,600 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 163 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (405 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
0.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 101.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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.
5 links without text

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (899 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
