Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.2 s · 383 KiBAbout 383 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 243 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (243 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 87). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and Facebook and others), adding 1.1 MB and 911 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
590 ms · 107 KiBAbout 107 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 590 ms faster on a phone.
Google Tag Manager adds 467 ms
467 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 467 ms of main-thread work and 521 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.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 199 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
29 KiB1 image could be 29 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 87 but mobile only 48. 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s

Server response: 34 ms

Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 33% slower for real visitors
+33%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 172 ms to 231 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Total Blocking Time: 472 ms
472 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 472 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (30 KiB) is 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 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.49 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.49 g of CO₂e: 58.4 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: 1.7 MB in 76 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 76 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (27), images 269 KiB (11) and fonts 208 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
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
Unlabelled dropdowns
2 dropdowns have no label.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links look like plain text
2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (22 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 22 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
40 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
