Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6.5 s · 2.2 MB90 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.2 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.1 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.6 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.
Font display
3.0 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 3.0 s).
Main-thread work: 11.2 s
A phone's processor spends 11.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 28
28/100Your mobile performance score is 28 (desktop: 53). 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 (px-cloud.net, Google Tag Manager and getmetrical.com and others), adding 2.4 MB and 3.6 s of main-thread time.
px-cloud.net adds 975 ms
975 mspx-cloud.net costs a phone 975 ms of main-thread work and 120 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.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 165 KiBAbout 165 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 718 ms
718 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 718 ms of main-thread work and 582 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.
getmetrical.com adds 584 ms
584 msgetmetrical.com costs a phone 584 ms of main-thread work and 185 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.
Improve image delivery
464 KiB19 images could be 464 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 367 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 328 ms
328 msFacebook costs a phone 328 ms of main-thread work and 221 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.
Quantum Metric adds 336 ms
336 msQuantum Metric costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 98 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.
2,845 HTML elements
The page has 2,845 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 149 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 149 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
22 KiB22 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 53 but mobile only 28. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

1.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.75 g of CO₂e: 210.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility

25 links without text
25 links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
16 text elements with low contrast
16 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
8 tap targets too small

Elements use prohibited ARIA attributes

2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data

Your longest form asks for 9 fields (3 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link

An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:knitwellgroup.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
