Speed

13 to fix44
  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 1.3 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.2 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 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, datadoghq-browser-agent.com and Facebook and others), adding 3.0 MB and 2.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 515 KiB

    33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (515 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    508 KiB

    15 images could be 508 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 2,835 HTML elements

    The page has 2,835 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • datadoghq-browser-agent.com adds 259 ms

    259 ms

    datadoghq-browser-agent.com costs a phone 259 ms of main-thread work and 59 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.

  • 17 long tasks on the main thread

    17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 263 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Klaviyo adds 156 ms

    156 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.

  • Shopify adds 47 ms

    47 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 47 ms of main-thread work and 401 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

    30 ms · 67 KiB

    About 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 30 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    57 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    22 KiB

    22 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    19 KiB

    19 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 80 ms

    80 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 80 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix42
  • Time to Interactive: 34.6 s

    34.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 34.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    Your largest element takes 8.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Speed Index: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003

    0.003

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix60
  • Page weight: 6.5 MB in 568 requests

    6.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 568 requests on a phone: scripts 3.3 MB (123), other files 1.7 MB (362) and images 1.2 MB (53). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 6 images far larger than shown

    146 KiB

    6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 0311-encart-maintien-mob.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 146 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (51 KiB) is 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (130 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.85 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.85 g of CO₂e: 221.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8689
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 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.

  • [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (1 element)

    [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)

    Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (22 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 22 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 132 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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

  • Text is in the HTML

  • llms.txt published

1 to fix95
