Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 s · 307 KiBAbout 307 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 s · 241 KiB84 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (241 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 96). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, hubspotusercontent30.net and Hubspot and others), adding 955 KiB and 844 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 446 KiB6 images could be 446 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 477 ms
477 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 477 ms of main-thread work and 550 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.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 891 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 16 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 130 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 96 but mobile only 53. 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 JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.53 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.9 MB in 119 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 119 requests on a phone: scripts 916 KiB (46), images 774 KiB (41) and stylesheets 83 KiB (15). That is a lean page.
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
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 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: 50 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (171 characters)
Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof

No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
