Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.2 s · 611 KiBAbout 611 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43. 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, FontAwesome CDN and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 360 ms
360 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 360 ms of main-thread work and 314 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: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 55 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 354 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
324 KiB10 images could be 324 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
FontAwesome CDN adds 255 ms
255 msFontAwesome CDN costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 167 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 164 ms
164 msKlaviyo costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 386 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.
Shopify adds 97 ms
97 msShopify costs a phone 97 ms of main-thread work and 299 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
198 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (198 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
114 KiBAbout 114 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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 JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 261 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 261 requests on a phone: scripts 1.6 MB (85), other files 924 KiB (121) and images 902 KiB (33). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (145 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 128.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
43 text elements with low contrast
43 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
