Speed

5 to fix80
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 80

    80/100

    Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    758 ms

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 758 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    460 ms · 77 KiB

    About 77 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    318 KiB

    About 318 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and reddit and others), adding 421 KiB and 350 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    192 KiB

    17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (192 KiB).

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    40 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Improve image delivery

    23 KiB

    2 images could be 23 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 721 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user FCP: 3.1 s

    3.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    Your largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Real visitors wait 3.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 201 ms

    201 ms

    Real visitors wait 201 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 30% slower for real visitors

    +30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 146 ms to 201 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 66% slower for real visitors

    +66%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 3.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Real visitors wait 1.8 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 15 images without width and height

    15 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Total Blocking Time: 205 ms

    205 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 205 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 2.5 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 7 images far larger than shown

    404 KiB

    7 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example case-study-pokebox.webp at 1,080 px wide, shown at 308 px. Resized copies would save about 404 KiB.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (95 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.44 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.44 g of CO₂e: 52.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 151 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 151 requests on a phone: scripts 834 KiB (45), images 395 KiB (65) and fonts 198 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9090
  • 19 text elements with low contrast

    19 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (5 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (97 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 97 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 24 form fields without a label

    24 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 138 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 38 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
