Render-blocking requests
3.0 s33 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 234 KiBAbout 234 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 44). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.2 s
A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.9 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Marketo and Optanon and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 757 KiBAbout 757 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
750 ms · 233 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (233 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 876 ms
876 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 876 ms of main-thread work and 850 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.
Improve image delivery
447 KiB3 images could be 447 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
1,780 HTML elements
The page has 1,780 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 166 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 166 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (55), images 1.5 MB (45) and fonts 922 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (95 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (36 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 52 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
