Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 374 KiBAbout 374 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 s · 384 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (384 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Azure Web Services and others), adding 644 KiB and 788 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 53 KiBAbout 53 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Facebook adds 343 ms
343 msFacebook costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 270 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.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 274 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,591 HTML elements
The page has 1,591 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
173 KiB4 images could be 173 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 179 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 179 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (52), other files 774 KiB (94) and images 551 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 form fields without a label

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (66 characters)
