FontAwesome CDN adds 1.2 s
1.2 sFontAwesome CDN costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 102 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.
Main-thread work: 11.2 s
A phone's processor spends 11.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.9 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 (FontAwesome CDN, Google CDN and VWO and others), adding 3.5 MB and 3.5 s of main-thread time.
Google CDN adds 811 ms
811 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 811 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
VWO adds 490 ms
490 msVWO costs a phone 490 ms of main-thread work and 162 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 280 ms
280 msKlaviyo costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.

2,188 HTML elements
The page has 2,188 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).
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: 7.3 MB in 394 requests
7.3 MBYour homepage downloads 7.3 MB in 394 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (118), images 1.8 MB (45) and other files 1.5 MB (155). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Untitled_design_48_1.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.08 g of CO₂e: 249.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
