Speed
Main-thread work: 14.2 s
A phone's processor spends 14.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 7.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,599 HTML elements
The page has 3,599 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 1.1 MB19 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (epsilondelta.co, Clarity and Optanon and others), adding 650 KiB and 805 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 139 KiBAbout 139 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
epsilondelta.co adds 393 ms
393 msepsilondelta.co costs a phone 393 ms of main-thread work and 39 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 257 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (257 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
173 KiBAbout 173 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
15 KiB15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 60.4 MB in 436 requests
60.4 MBYour homepage downloads 60.4 MB in 436 requests on a phone: media 49.3 MB (21), images 8.9 MB (98) and other files 1.1 MB (229). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images far larger than shown
1.3 MB11 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Pigmentation_570d171f-06e5-4163-994f-9110bbd3a01b.webp at 500 px wide, shown at 80 px. Resized copies would save about 1.3 MB.
15 images in older formats
15 images (2.1 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.
14 images below the first screen load straight away
14 images further down the page (734 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 17.1 g of CO₂ per visit
17.12 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 17.12 g of CO₂e: 2054.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility

34 links without text
34 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
8 form fields without a label
