Speed

10 to fix58
  • 5,158 HTML elements

    The page has 5,158 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 58

    58/100

    Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 221 KiB

    About 221 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (negate.io, Google Tag Manager and searchatlas.com and others), adding 552 KiB and 890 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    450 ms · 128 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (128 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 79 KiB

    About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 322 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • negate.io adds 263 ms

    263 ms

    negate.io costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 40 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    150 ms · 46 KiB

    46 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify CSS

    150 ms · 12 KiB

    12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    12 KiB

    12 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    4 KiB

    1 image could be 4 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 3 images without width and height

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.48 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.1 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: 1.7 MB in 133 requests

    1.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 133 requests on a phone: other files 694 KiB (78), scripts 614 KiB (40) and images 129 KiB (3). 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

4 to fixGoogle 8894
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 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 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 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: 47 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

3 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • llms.txt published
