Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.2 s · 375 KiBAbout 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 78). 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 (cdn-website.com, pii.ai and Snowplow and others), adding 2.1 MB and 509 ms of main-thread time.
cdn-website.com adds 249 ms
249 mscdn-website.com costs a phone 249 ms of main-thread work and 1.6 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 CSS
300 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 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.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 979 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,842 HTML elements
The page has 1,842 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
multiscreensite.com adds 0 ms
0 msmultiscreensite.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 221 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
89 KiB5 images could be 89 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
17 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).
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
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 104 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 104 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (32), scripts 901 KiB (25) and fonts 214 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 89.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
