Speed
Improve image delivery
7.8 s · 3.6 MB88 images could be 3.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.8 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
11,298 HTML elements
The page has 11,298 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.9 s
A phone's processor spends 9.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
9.9 MB363 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9.9 MB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, fliphtml5.com and matterport.com and others), adding 13.0 MB and 3.0 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.6 MBAbout 3.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
fliphtml5.com adds 982 ms
982 msfliphtml5.com costs a phone 982 ms of main-thread work and 5.4 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 983 ms
983 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 983 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.
matterport.com adds 603 ms
603 msmatterport.com costs a phone 603 ms of main-thread work and 4.8 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 439 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
310 ms · 66 KiB66 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
lottie.host adds 1 ms
1 mslottie.host costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 644 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
67 KiBAbout 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
33 KiB33 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 35.0 MB in 764 requests
35.0 MBYour homepage downloads 35.0 MB in 764 requests on a phone: images 24.4 MB (406), scripts 8.4 MB (230) and other files 839 KiB (78). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.5 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images in older formats
4 images (1.7 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.
19 images below the first screen load straight away
19 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
3 images far larger than shown
196 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example download.webp at 1,600 px wide, shown at 270 px. Resized copies would save about 196 KiB.
About 9.9 g of CO₂ per visit
9.91 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 9.91 g of CO₂e: 1189.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (28 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 28 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
18 tap targets too small
18 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (6 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles
3 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (30 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 30 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 541 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 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: 43 passed and 8 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
