Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 10.4 s
A phone's processor spends 10.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
5,180 HTML elements
The page has 5,180 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 (Amazon Web Services, Shopify and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.2 MB and 2.2 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 995 KiBAbout 995 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 667 KiB43 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (667 KiB).
Shopify adds 455 ms
455 msShopify costs a phone 455 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.
Amazon Web Services adds 519 ms
519 msAmazon Web Services costs a phone 519 ms of main-thread work and 31 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 384 ms
384 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 384 ms of main-thread work and 412 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.
Improve image delivery
405 KiB16 images could be 405 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 301 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Sentry adds 284 ms
284 msSentry costs a phone 284 ms of main-thread work and 48 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.
vanchat.app adds 117 ms
117 msvanchat.app costs a phone 117 ms of main-thread work and 368 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 47 KiBAbout 47 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
65 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 65 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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 CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.1 MB in 613 requests
6.1 MBYour homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 613 requests on a phone: scripts 3.2 MB (266), other files 1.1 MB (248) and images 888 KiB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
48 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example TST-UF-NSF.png at 767 px wide, shown at 118 px. Resized copies would save about 48 KiB.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.74 g of CO₂e: 208.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
43 text elements with low contrast
43 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 images without alt text
2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (11 elements)

Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (7 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

51 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 5 failed. 6 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Local business without LocalBusiness data

No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
