Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 13.0 MB41 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13.0 MB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and website-files.com and others), adding 14.1 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
website-files.com adds 161 ms
161 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 161 ms of main-thread work and 12.9 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 425 KiBAbout 425 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 73). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 500 ms
500 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 500 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 376 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 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.
Hubspot adds 190 ms
190 msHubspot costs a phone 190 ms of main-thread work and 344 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
93 KiB3 images could be 93 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 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: 14.4 MB in 111 requests
14.4 MBYour homepage downloads 14.4 MB in 111 requests on a phone: media 12.3 MB (2), scripts 1.4 MB (49) and images 465 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6a7f3e0c29890b6482278763_aadd4d856a1e36d01e731c990da61f95_He 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 4.1 g of CO₂ per visit
4.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.07 g of CO₂e: 488.2 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
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 117 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
93 internal links, 10 external

Valid certificate (77 days left)

Domain and trust
Domain expires in 55 days

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage

No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link

No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
