Speed
Main-thread work: 10.1 s
A phone's processor spends 10.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
4,136 HTML elements
The page has 4,136 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, Klaviyo and rechargecdn.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
320 ms · 368 KiBAbout 368 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 320 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
586 KiB9 images could be 586 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 504 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Accessibe Accessibility Overlay adds 421 ms
421 msAccessibe Accessibility Overlay costs a phone 421 ms of main-thread work and 250 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.
Klaviyo adds 310 ms
310 msKlaviyo costs a phone 310 ms of main-thread work and 318 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
100 ms · 216 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (216 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
38 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 38 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 274 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 274 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (52), scripts 1.3 MB (96) and other files 741 KiB (93). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
7 images in older formats
7 images (318 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (31 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

28 links without text

Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 165 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 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: 46 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
