Speed

3 to fix84

  • 3,849 HTML elements

Images and page weight

100

  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.17 g of CO₂e: 20.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed

  • Page weight: 616 KiB in 68 requests

    616 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 616 KiB in 68 requests on a phone: stylesheets 205 KiB (52), HTML 144 KiB (1) and images 135 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8893

  • 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.

  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (8 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (71 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 71 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.

  • The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)

    The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 49 links without text

    49 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed

  • Every image has alt text

    All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 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: 48 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

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

100

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88

  • A 11-field form

    Your longest form asks for 11 fields (10 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

    The homepage carries about 807 words of visible text.

6 checks passed

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

1 checks passed
