Improve image delivery
3.5 MB10 images could be 3.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, website-files.com and Google CDN and others), adding 9.5 MB and 637 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 MB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
website-files.com adds 96 ms
96 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 96 ms of main-thread work and 8.2 MB 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
569 KiBAbout 569 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 407 ms
407 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 407 ms of main-thread work and 757 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 55 KiBAbout 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 64 ms
64 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 64 ms of main-thread work and 355 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 144 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.1 s
A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 582 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.1 s

14.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 29% slower for real visitors
+29%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 124 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
17 images without width and height
17 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.108
0.108The layout shifts by 0.108 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 9.9 MB in 75 requests
9.9 MBYour homepage downloads 9.9 MB in 75 requests on a phone: images 8.1 MB (28), scripts 1.3 MB (28) and fonts 385 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images over 500 KB
4 images weigh 6.3 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
4 images far larger than shown
3.9 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 6ac6c950641dc09d0707d626_69f247c68c6922bb5ec9ee2e_David%20AL at 4,096 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 3.9 MB.
5 images in older formats
5 images (6.5 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.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (6.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6997b55d89d1e91ec26858b7_MBOC-white.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.81 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.81 g of CO₂e: 337.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Images must have alternative text (1 element)
Images must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 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 (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
