Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 217 KiBAbout 217 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 7.4 s
A phone's processor spends 7.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 135 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (135 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, TrustArc and Optimizely and others), adding 603 KiB and 839 ms of main-thread time.
1,906 HTML elements
The page has 1,906 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
129 KiB6 images could be 129 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
58 KiBAbout 58 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

979 msReal visitors wait 979 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
16 images without width and height

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 46.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 74 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 74 requests on a phone: scripts 630 KiB (22), fonts 384 KiB (14) and images 221 KiB (17). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
16 buttons without a name
16 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
26 text elements with low contrast
26 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links must have discernible text (8 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Positive tabindex
1 element has a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 48 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
