ignitionapp.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.2 s · 240 KiB2 images could be 240 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, hsappstatic.net and Hubspot and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 743 KiB75 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (743 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 850 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
779 KiBAbout 779 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 610 ms
610 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 610 ms of main-thread work and 698 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.
hsappstatic.net adds 369 ms
369 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 369 ms of main-thread work and 711 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.
Hubspot adds 242 ms
242 msHubspot costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 350 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.
Wistia adds 241 ms
241 msWistia costs a phone 241 ms of main-thread work and 315 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.
1,698 HTML elements
The page has 1,698 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
VWO adds 74 ms
74 msVWO costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 309 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 CSS
150 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 225 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Document request latency
154 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Legacy JavaScript
32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 235 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 235 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (56), images 476 KiB (76) and other files 387 KiB (88). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
148 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Ignition_sell_bill_get_paid.png at 1,734 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 148 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (240 KiB) is 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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
10 buttons without a name
10 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
11 text elements with low contrast
11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (122 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 122 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.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
157 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 157 pages on ignitionapp.com and 20 external pages.

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

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

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 914 words of copy
The homepage carries about 914 words of visible text.
