Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 2.5 MB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.5 MB).
Improve image delivery
1.9 s · 937 KiB5 images could be 937 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 386 KiBAbout 386 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, website-files.com and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 6.6 MB and 516 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
website-files.com adds 115 ms
115 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 115 ms of main-thread work and 5.5 MB 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.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 58 KiBAbout 58 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.
Font display
350 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).
Adobe TypeKit adds 12 ms
12 msAdobe TypeKit costs a phone 12 ms of main-thread work and 583 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 197 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 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.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Main-thread work: 1.4 s

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 19.0 s
19.0 sYour largest element takes 19.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “DesignGood Image Hero Section Fallback”.
Time to Interactive: 19.1 s
19.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.3 s
9.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 252 ms
252 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 252 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.1 MB in 73 requests
7.1 MBYour homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 73 requests on a phone: images 3.0 MB (23), media 2.3 MB (2) and scripts 994 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
67a16121222501502a734ed2_DesignGood Image Hero Section Fallb is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit
2.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.00 g of CO₂e: 240.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
