Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 392 KiBAbout 392 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 393 ms
393 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 393 ms of main-thread work and 535 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 CSS
300 ms · 50 KiBAbout 50 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.
2,789 HTML elements
The page has 2,789 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 828 KiB and 453 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 37 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (37 KiB).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 33 KiB1 image could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 161 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 104 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 104 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (36), fonts 602 KiB (11) and images 386 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.61 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.61 g of CO₂e: 73.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
