Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 935 KiBAbout 935 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.6 s · 531 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (531 KiB).
Improve image delivery
1.0 s · 631 KiB16 images could be 631 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 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 (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and podium.com and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 128 KiBAbout 128 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 477 ms
477 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 477 ms of main-thread work and 795 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 422 ms
422 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 422 ms of main-thread work and 532 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.
podium.com adds 286 ms
286 mspodium.com costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 503 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.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 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 JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Page weight: 7.9 MB in 300 requests
7.9 MBYour homepage downloads 7.9 MB in 300 requests on a phone: images 3.5 MB (59), scripts 2.1 MB (71) and other files 1.3 MB (133). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
174 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example TCXToolbox-1.png at 2,250 px wide, shown at 60 px. Resized copies would save about 174 KiB.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (68 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

33 form fields without a label
33 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
16 links without text
16 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (10 elements)
