Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
16.4 s · 3.2 MBAbout 3.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 16.4 s faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 4.8 s
4.8 sGoogle CDN costs a phone 4.8 s of main-thread work and 4.8 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.
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s66 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Main-thread work: 19.5 s
A phone's processor spends 19.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 13.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 s · 102 KiBAbout 102 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.4 s
1.4 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.4 s of main-thread work and 820 KiB 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: 17
17/100Your mobile performance score is 17. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,812 HTML elements
The page has 3,812 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 19.8 MB and 7.2 s of main-thread time.
Vimeo adds 191 ms
191 msVimeo costs a phone 191 ms of main-thread work and 13.7 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
950 ms · 606 KiB10 images could be 606 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 950 ms faster on a phone.
Other Google APIs/SDKs adds 750 ms
750 msOther Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 750 ms of main-thread work and 350 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 542 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 127 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (127 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 25.6 MB in 212 requests
25.6 MBYour homepage downloads 25.6 MB in 212 requests on a phone: other files 17.2 MB (34), scripts 6.1 MB (59) and images 1.1 MB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (208 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 7.3 g of CO₂ per visit
7.26 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 7.26 g of CO₂e: 871.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (9 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 9 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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
12 form fields without a label
12 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No direct contact details

12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
