Speed
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 1.8 MB45 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
2,448 HTML elements
The page has 2,448 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 453 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Duplicated JavaScript
100 ms · 52 KiB52 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Mailchimp and intuit.com and others), adding 295 KiB and 71 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
24 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (24 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
14 KiBAbout 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 201 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 201 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (46), other files 622 KiB (56) and scripts 328 KiB (76). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
SynthiSquish_HERO.webp 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).
9 images in older formats
9 images (545 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 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.02 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.2 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
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
17 links without text
17 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 89 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
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.

Other pages

No direct contact details
