Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 401 KiBAbout 401 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.5 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 196 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (196 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 186 ms
186 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 186 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 948 KiB and 439 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 16 KiBAbout 16 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
51 KiB3 images could be 51 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
30 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 255 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 255 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (104), other files 689 KiB (86) and images 330 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
wa-banner-image-mobile-home.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 89.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 buttons without a name
3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
13 tap targets too small
13 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
