Speed
YouTube adds 2.8 s
2.8 sYouTube costs a phone 2.8 s of main-thread work and 4.8 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 18.0 s
A phone's processor spends 18.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 8.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 36
36/100Your mobile performance score is 36. 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 (YouTube, Shopify and hsappstatic.net and others), adding 6.9 MB and 4.9 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 3.4 MBAbout 3.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 1.3 MB11 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
940 ms · 189 KiBAbout 189 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 940 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 689 KiB43 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (689 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
700 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Shopify adds 575 ms
575 msShopify costs a phone 575 ms of main-thread work and 716 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 608 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
hsappstatic.net adds 448 ms
448 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 448 ms of main-thread work and 715 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.
Facebook adds 287 ms
287 msFacebook costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 292 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.
2,971 HTML elements
The page has 2,971 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 65 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 65 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. 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).
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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 56.3 MB in 521 requests
56.3 MBYour homepage downloads 56.3 MB in 521 requests on a phone: media 44.5 MB (5), scripts 6.7 MB (157) and images 2.4 MB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
01_2.gif weighs 897 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
6_2-SoftwareUpdate-HomeHeroMobile_copy.jpg 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (897 KiB) is 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (71 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 16.0 g of CO₂ per visit
15.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 15.97 g of CO₂e: 1916.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

50 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: 50 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 735 words of copy
The homepage carries about 735 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

44 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
