Render-blocking requests
4.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.1 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 391 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (391 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Clarity and Facebook and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
620 ms · 420 KiBAbout 420 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 620 ms faster on a phone.
hsappstatic.net adds 407 ms
407 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 407 ms of main-thread work and 716 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.
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 42 KiB4 images could be 42 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
Clarity adds 327 ms
327 msClarity costs a phone 327 ms of main-thread work and 29 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 324 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 7 KiB7 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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 233 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 233 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (79), other files 738 KiB (102) and images 525 KiB (29). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Banner_EpoxyETC_LiquidPigments_1000x1400_SML_4c8c3132-fdaf-4 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 103.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 18 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
81 internal links, 1 external

Content and conversion
No social proof

No analytics detected
