Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
mosaic_01d.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).
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 67.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 80 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 80 requests on a phone: images 930 KiB (33), scripts 909 KiB (38) and HTML 95 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

SEO
Title is short (16 characters)
Your title is only 16 characters: “Supplement First”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
