Speed
2,239 HTML elements
The page has 2,239 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Wistia), adding 1.4 MB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
Wistia adds 0 ms
0 msWistia costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.
Reduce unused CSS

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.
