Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 766 KiBAbout 766 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, reetags.com and Optanon and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 832 ms
832 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 832 ms of main-thread work and 943 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.
reetags.com adds 280 ms
280 msreetags.com costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 847 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: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 52 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (52 KiB).
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 251 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,905 HTML elements
The page has 1,905 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
cloudfront.net adds 0 ms
0 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 841 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
150 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
66 KiB5 images could be 66 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 123 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 123 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (66), media 1.7 MB (3) and fonts 381 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Structured data has 8 problems
Structured data found ((untyped), Organization and WebSite) but with 8 problems, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
6 links with vague text
