Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.5 s · 919 KiBAbout 919 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.4 s · 639 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (639 KiB).
allaccessible.org adds 1.2 s
1.2 sallaccessible.org costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 641 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.9 s
A phone's processor spends 9.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (allaccessible.org, Bold Commerce and Shopify and others), adding 3.0 MB and 2.7 s of main-thread time.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 147 KiBAbout 147 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
600 KiB12 images could be 600 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 132 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 132 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 251 ms
251 msShopify costs a phone 251 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 MB 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.
Bold Commerce adds 315 ms
315 msBold Commerce costs a phone 315 ms of main-thread work and 501 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.
Klaviyo adds 225 ms
225 msKlaviyo costs a phone 225 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.
1,789 HTML elements
The page has 1,789 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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

6.0 MBYour homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 600 requests on a phone: scripts 3.0 MB (280), other files 1.3 MB (242) and images 1.1 MB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.69 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.69 g of CO₂e: 202.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Skip links are not focusable.

Headings skip levels

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
