Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
canva.com adds 1.0 s
1.0 scanva.com costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 1.6 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.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35 (desktop: 62). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.7 s
A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.2 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 (canva.com, talkfurther.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.0 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 MBAbout 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
talkfurther.com adds 914 ms
914 mstalkfurther.com costs a phone 914 ms of main-thread work and 505 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 651 KiB40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (651 KiB).
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 798 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
636 KiB8 images could be 636 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 270 ms
270 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 270 ms of main-thread work and 329 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
150 ms · 113 KiBAbout 113 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 62 but mobile only 35. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 26.8 s
26.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 26.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.3 s
11.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.5 s
1.5 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.398
0.398The layout shifts by 0.398 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
17 images without width and height
17 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.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 145 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 145 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (62), images 1.2 MB (15) and stylesheets 184 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (795 KiB) 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.
2 images far larger than shown
426 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Untitled-design.png at 836 px wide, shown at 153 px. Resized copies would save about 426 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (76 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
20 text elements with low contrast
20 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 (19 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 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.
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.
14 links without text
14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (11 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 1,710 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,710 words of visible text.

7 cookies set on arrival
7Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
24 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
