Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB on a phone, 985 KiB of it images (18%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (505 KiB) 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (107 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 186.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed

Accessibility
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 107 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
