Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 374 KiB13 images could be 374 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76 (desktop: 85). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 421 KiBAbout 421 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 283 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (283 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 354 ms
354 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 354 ms of main-thread work and 542 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
300 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.
2,152 HTML elements
The page has 2,152 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Google Analytics), adding 544 KiB and 354 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
89 KiB89 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.

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
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,182 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,182 words of visible text.
