Render-blocking requests
2.5 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 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, ZenDesk and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 881 KiBAbout 881 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 945 KiB5 images could be 945 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 478 ms
478 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 478 ms of main-thread work and 297 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.
ZenDesk adds 401 ms
401 msZenDesk costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 480 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
300 ms · 61 KiBAbout 61 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.
2,713 HTML elements
The page has 2,713 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 123 ms
123 msKlaviyo costs a phone 123 ms of main-thread work and 337 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 84 ms
84 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 84 ms of main-thread work and 349 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 246 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 37 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (37 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
32 KiB32 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.3 MB in 285 requests
5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 285 requests on a phone: scripts 2.1 MB (107), images 2.0 MB (46) and other files 789 KiB (112). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images below the first screen load straight away
7 images further down the page (617 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (118 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.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.50 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.50 g of CO₂e: 179.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
13 images without alt text
13 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 10 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
