Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 650 KiBAbout 650 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 67). 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, Wistia and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 5.7 MB and 871 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
590 ms · 170 KiBAbout 170 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 590 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 263 KiB11 images could be 263 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Wistia adds 194 ms
194 msWistia costs a phone 194 ms of main-thread work and 4.4 MB 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 487 ms
487 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 487 ms of main-thread work and 761 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, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,610 HTML elements
The page has 1,610 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 61 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (61 KiB).
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 168 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.
