Speed
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, posthog.com and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 663 KiB and 945 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 743 ms
743 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 743 ms of main-thread work and 514 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 JavaScript
439 KiBAbout 439 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
307 KiB14 images could be 307 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 278 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
107 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (107 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 94 but mobile only 61. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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
25 images far larger than shown
1.9 MB25 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Compliance_vLZJkxm.original.png at 4,162 px wide, shown at 213 px. Resized copies would save about 1.9 MB.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.0 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
34 images below the first screen load straight away
34 images further down the page (3.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 74 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 74 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (36), scripts 1.0 MB (18) and fonts 47 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images in older formats
4 images (920 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 79.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 126 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 0 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization, SoftwareApplication and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “SoftwareApplication: no offers (price) block”.

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
Opted out of AI training for 2 crawlers
robots.txt blocks ClaudeBot and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
2 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
