Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
8.0 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.1 s · 1.0 MB61 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.0 MB).
hsappstatic.net adds 1.0 s
1.0 shsappstatic.net costs a phone 1.0 s of main-thread work and 1.6 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.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 71). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 3.8 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
920 ms · 183 KiBAbout 183 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 920 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 555 ms
555 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 555 ms of main-thread work and 953 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 416 ms
416 msFacebook costs a phone 416 ms of main-thread work and 638 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.
Hubspot adds 271 ms
271 msHubspot costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 459 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 304 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 16 KiB1 image could be 16 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. 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).
Legacy JavaScript
36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 71 but mobile only 31. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
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.

Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 166 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 166 requests on a phone: scripts 3.7 MB (80), fonts 299 KiB (5) and stylesheets 207 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.25 g of CO₂e: 150.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
24 text elements with low contrast
24 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (37 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 37 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500% (1 element)
Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 2 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
There is no https://tagsolutions.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
