Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 1,013 KiBAbout 1,013 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36 (desktop: 64). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 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, ZenDesk and Bold Commerce and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 271 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (271 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 513 ms
513 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 513 ms of main-thread work and 504 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
300 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 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.
ZenDesk adds 287 ms
287 msZenDesk costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 413 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 298 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Vimeo adds 127 ms
127 msVimeo costs a phone 127 ms of main-thread work and 511 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
63 KiB4 images could be 63 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).
Minify JavaScript
34 KiB34 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 64 but mobile only 36. 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.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 32 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 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: 41 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
