One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.7 s · 782 KiBAbout 782 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.2 s
A phone's processor spends 6.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 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, Google CDN and Hubspot and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 773 ms
773 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 773 ms of main-thread work and 760 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.
Google CDN adds 683 ms
683 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 683 ms of main-thread work and 741 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.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 408 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
290 ms · 81 KiBAbout 81 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 290 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
110 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (110 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
14 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.3 s
13.3 sYour largest element takes 13.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “You built it, now let's make it unbreakable Whether you are…”.
First Contentful Paint: 6.4 s
6.4 sThe first text or image appears after 6.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 17.1 s
17.1 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 17.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s
1.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 7.4 s
7.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 162% slower for real visitors
+162%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 116 ms to 345 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 61% slower for real visitors
+61%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.005
0.005The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.005, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 106 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 106 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (36), other files 359 KiB (14) and images 221 KiB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
40 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example variation-3-editorial.png at 2,560 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 40 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (51 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.77 g of CO₂e: 91.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
6 text elements with low contrast
6 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 (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
28 links without text
28 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 110 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
