Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB on a phone, 110 KiB of it images (3%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
17 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 17 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 17 passed and 0 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
