One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.2 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 221 KiB35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (221 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 96). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4,126 HTML elements
The page has 4,126 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
880 ms · 135 KiBAbout 135 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 880 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Hubspot and others), adding 1.2 MB and 774 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 62 KiBAbout 62 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 259 ms
259 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 259 ms of main-thread work and 178 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.
website-files.com adds 180 ms
180 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 180 ms of main-thread work and 597 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
81 KiB9 images could be 81 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).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 96 but mobile only 48. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.3 s
11.3 sYour largest element takes 11.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
First Contentful Paint: 4.7 s
4.7 sThe first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 12.3 s
12.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.2 s
7.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
40 images without width and height
40 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 456 ms
456 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 456 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6a1f0395534d448c6ee04dce_Dots Light.svg 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 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.42 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 108 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 108 requests on a phone: scripts 825 KiB (62), fonts 235 KiB (5) and images 220 KiB (19). That is a lean page.
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
8 buttons without a name
8 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 165 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 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: 44 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
