Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.9 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.9 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.9 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 367 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (367 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 892 KiB11 images could be 892 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Cookiebot and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 929 ms
929 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 929 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 MB 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
580 ms · 103 KiBAbout 103 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 580 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 30 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Hubspot adds 164 ms
164 msHubspot costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 307 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.
19 long tasks on the main thread
19 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 220 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Largest Contentful Paint: 18.6 s
18.6 sYour largest element takes 18.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “HorizonIQ Banner”.

Real-user CLS: 0.11
0.11For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 113 ms to 118 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.7 MB in 106 requests
12.7 MBYour homepage downloads 12.7 MB in 106 requests on a phone: media 8.9 MB (2), scripts 2.2 MB (56) and images 1.2 MB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
course.jpg weighs 643 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images far larger than shown
616 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example course.jpg at 3,840 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 616 KiB.
5 images in older formats
5 images (1.1 MB) 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (1,012 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.6 g of CO₂ per visit
3.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.59 g of CO₂e: 430.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (43 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 43 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
