Speed
Improve image delivery
16.9 s · 3.5 MB3 images could be 3.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 16.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 41
41/100Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Shopify and others), adding 1.4 MB and 626 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 325 KiBAbout 325 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 391 ms
391 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 391 ms of main-thread work and 652 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,228 HTML elements
The page has 2,228 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
gubagoo.io adds 10 ms
10 msgubagoo.io costs a phone 10 ms of main-thread work and 518 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
44 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (44 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
39 KiBAbout 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.2 MB in 205 requests
6.2 MBYour homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 205 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (11), other files 1.2 MB (105) and scripts 1.0 MB (62). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
Nov_Lincoln_campaign_mobile_ed1edc55-313b-4f65-b802-723efa1a weighs 879 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.76 g of CO₂e: 211.4 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
6 tap targets too small
6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Links must have discernible text (3 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
17 form fields without a label
17 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
7 checks passed

AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 526 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
3 checks passed

Best practices
23 small tap targets
23 of 51 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 distorted image

Missing source maps

2 checks passed

Content and conversion
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 526 words of copy
