Speed

9 to fix62
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

    12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 251 KiB

    About 251 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Minify JavaScript

    730 ms · 54 KiB

    54 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 68 KiB

    1 image could be 68 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 56 KiB

    About 56 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    400 ms · 83 KiB

    8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (83 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 2.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 2,061 HTML elements

    The page has 2,061 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, tailwindcss.com and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 499 KiB and 453 ms of main-thread time.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 200 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 11.6 MB in 82 requests

    11.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.6 MB in 82 requests on a phone: media 10.5 MB (1), scripts 641 KiB (24) and images 228 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.29 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.29 g of CO₂e: 394.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

7 to fixGoogle 9392

    25 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 37 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 22 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
