Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.8 MB
6.8 MBYour homepage downloads 6.8 MB on a phone, 2.5 MB of it images (37%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
21 images in older formats
21 images (1.8 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
hONORING_vETERANS_1.webp 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).
2 images far larger than shown
22 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example hONORING_vETERANS_1.webp at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 22 KiB.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.93 g of CO₂e: 231.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
3 buttons without a name
3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
18 text elements with low contrast
18 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
16 tap targets too small
16 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 87 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 59 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

Other pages
5 pages without an H1

https://www.lvadgear.com/collections/all-products, https://www.lvadgear.com/collections/heartmate-products and https://www.lvadgear.com/collections/lvad-tank-tops have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
