Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.1 MB
5.1 MBYour homepage downloads 5.1 MB on a phone, 1.3 MB of it images (25%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
new-hero-mobile-black-cap-high-res.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images in older formats
2 images (586 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.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.44 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.44 g of CO₂e: 173.1 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
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 checks passed
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
