website-files.com adds 337 ms
337 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 337 ms of main-thread work and 857 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.

300 ms · 97 KiBAbout 97 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 119 ms
119 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 119 ms of main-thread work and 354 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 148 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (148 KiB).
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 213 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Improve image delivery
144 KiB5 images could be 144 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

18 images without width and height
18 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 69 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 69 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (34), images 404 KiB (16) and fonts 202 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (71 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 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks (48 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 48 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark

Every image has alt text
All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image

7 links with vague text
7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
