Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 735 KiB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (735 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 694 KiBAbout 694 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.2 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 64). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Facebook and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
1.5 MB8 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 760 ms
760 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 760 ms of main-thread work and 842 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.
Hubspot adds 376 ms
376 msHubspot costs a phone 376 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
photo5-1.jpg weighs 852 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 113 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 113 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (36), images 1.7 MB (22) and fonts 42 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (852 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.
1 image far larger than shown
453 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example photo5-1.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 342 px. Resized copies would save about 453 KiB.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 117.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
24 text elements with low contrast

All page content should be contained by landmarks (24 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 24 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.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

Every image has alt text

38 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: 38 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
54 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 54 pages on r17ventures.com and 0 external pages.
