Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.0 s · 1.7 MB54 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.7 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 856 KiBAbout 856 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. 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, ZenDesk and Affirm and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 343 ms
343 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 530 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: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
ZenDesk adds 149 ms
149 msZenDesk costs a phone 149 ms of main-thread work and 430 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
130 ms · 81 KiBAbout 81 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 47 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 169 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
53 KiB5 images could be 53 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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 CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 424 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 424 requests on a phone: scripts 2.3 MB (130), images 1.6 MB (54) and other files 1,007 KiB (185). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 186.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
