Render-blocking requests
2.6 s37 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 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 (Google Tag Manager, Google Maps and Hubspot and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 867 KiBAbout 867 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 626 ms
626 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 626 ms of main-thread work and 955 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.
Font display
600 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 600 ms).
Google Maps adds 352 ms
352 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 352 ms of main-thread work and 800 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 260 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
tidio.co adds 135 ms
135 mstidio.co costs a phone 135 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
1,705 HTML elements
The page has 1,705 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 KiB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (200 KiB).
Improve image delivery
90 KiB10 images could be 90 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 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: 6.3 MB in 183 requests
6.3 MBYour homepage downloads 6.3 MB in 183 requests on a phone: images 3.0 MB (42), scripts 2.2 MB (68) and fonts 848 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images in older formats

1 image below the first screen load straight away

About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast

Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

No map or directions link
