Speed

8 to fix67
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.0 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 10.6 MB

    11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10.6 MB).

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, Google Tag Manager and cookiepro.com and others), adding 12.1 MB and 421 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 187 ms

    187 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 187 ms of main-thread work and 11.7 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    750 ms · 302 KiB

    8 images could be 302 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 191 KiB

    About 191 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 69 KiB

    About 69 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 78 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 394 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.222

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

Images and page weight

1 to fix70

    12.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 12.2 MB in 48 requests on a phone: media 10.5 MB (2), images 1.1 MB (22) and scripts 482 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (108 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.46 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.46 g of CO₂e: 414.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
