Render-blocking requests
1.8 s37 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 176 KiBAbout 176 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 358 KiB5 images could be 358 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 255 ms
255 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 203 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.
2,539 HTML elements
The page has 2,539 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, JSDelivr CDN and CallRail and others), adding 385 KiB and 366 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 120 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
13 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 94 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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
8 images in older formats
8 images (584 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 (56 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.46 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.46 g of CO₂e: 55.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.6 MB in 97 requests
1.6 MBYour homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 97 requests on a phone: images 671 KiB (13), scripts 594 KiB (27) and fonts 171 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
24 text elements with low contrast
24 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 (49 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 49 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No favicon declared

8 cookies set on arrival
