Decent speed, but optimizing further could improve engagement.
Several missing protections leave your users and data exposed.
Several issues make your site difficult for assistive technology users.
Well-optimized for search — your content is discoverable.
Good server performance with room for optimization.
Mostly compliant — a few items need attention.
Missing metadata means poor previews on social media and search.

Your site performs reasonably well, but a few targeted fixes could meaningfully improve results. Your LCP of 18.5s exceeds Google's 2.5s 'Good' threshold and the 1 performance issue below directly contributes to it. Addressing the critical issues below would have the most immediate impact on your user trust.
11 barrier(s) likely increasing bounce by ~38%.
Page takes 18.5s to load
+12% bounceUsers abandon at ~3s — you're 16.0s over the 2.5s threshold
Fix: Optimize render-blocking resources, preload the hero image, and compress images
High main-thread blocking time
+2% bouncePage is non-interactive for 335ms after first paint
Fix: Defer third-party scripts and split large bundles
Mixed content on HTTPS page
+8% bounceBrowsers block insecure subresources — broken images, missing scripts, warning badge
Fix: Change http:// URLs inside the page to https:// (or protocol-relative)
No HSTS header
+1% bounceReturning visitors are briefly exposed to downgrade attacks on first request
Fix: Set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
No Content-Security-Policy header
+1% bounceHigher XSS blast radius — one compromised script can exfiltrate the checkout form
Fix: Ship a reporting-only CSP first, then enforce once violations are clean
Severe layout shift during page load
+6% bounceUsers mis-click when content jumps — converting intent into frustration
Fix: Reserve space for images, ads, and embeds with explicit width/height
1 form field(s) without a label
+2% bounceScreen readers skip unlabeled fields; autofill can't identify them; checkout abandonment spikes
Fix: Associate every input with a visible <label for="…">; add autocomplete attributes
Viewport disables user zoom
+2% bounceVisitors with low vision can't read the page — and some jurisdictions treat this as a legal risk
Fix: Remove user-scalable=no; drop maximum-scale if it's below 2
No structured data
+2% bounceNo rich-result eligibility in Google — lower SERP CTR vs competitors with stars and prices
Fix: Add JSON-LD for your page type (Product, Article, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, …)
No skip-to-content link
+1% bounceKeyboard and screen-reader users must tab through the entire header on every page
Fix: Add a visible-on-focus <a href="#main">Skip to content</a> as the first focusable element
10 broken link(s) on the page
+5% bounceClicks land on 404s — trust drops and the session often ends
Fix: Fix or remove the broken destinations surfaced on the Content tab

Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Polyfills and transforms enable older browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. Consider modifying your JavaScript build process to not transpile Baseline features, unless you know you must support older browsers. Learn why most sites can deploy ES6+ code without transpiling
Shipping ES5 transpiled code to modern browsers wastes bytes — every user with an evergreen browser pays for compatibility you don't need.
Most users today run browsers that natively support ES6+, async/await, optional chaining, and the rest of modern JavaScript. Transpiling to ES5 'just in case' adds 20-40% to your bundle for no benefit. Configure your build to target a modern browserslist, or ship a differential bundle pair (modern + legacy) with the module/nomodule pattern.

Multi-megabyte JavaScript bundles delay every interactive feature on the page.
This is the Lighthouse audit fired when too much JS is shipped relative to what executes. The fix isn't a config flag — it requires bundle analysis (webpack-bundle-analyzer, rollup-plugin-visualizer), splitting routes into chunks, lazy-loading off-screen components, and removing unused dependencies. Fundamentally different from minification: minifying reduces byte count, this reduces what's downloaded at all.

Each subpart has specific improvement strategies. Ideally, most of the LCP time should be spent on loading the resources, not within delays.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Optimize LCP by making the LCP image discoverable from the HTML immediately, and avoiding lazy-loading
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 offer many benefits over HTTP/1.1, such as multiplexing. Learn more about using modern HTTP.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Requests are blocking the page's initial render, which may delay LCP. Deferring or inlining can move these network requests out of the critical path.
Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
Your first network request is the most important. Reduce its latency by avoiding redirects, ensuring a fast server response, and enabling text compression.

These are the largest layout shifts observed on the page. Each table item represents a single layout shift, and shows the element that shifted the most. Below each item are possible root causes that led to the layout shift. Some of these layout shifts may not be included in the CLS metric value due to windowing. Learn how to improve CLS

Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity. Learn how to reduce unused JavaScript.
Multi-megabyte JavaScript bundles delay every interactive feature on the page.
This is the Lighthouse audit fired when too much JS is shipped relative to what executes. The fix isn't a config flag — it requires bundle analysis (webpack-bundle-analyzer, rollup-plugin-visualizer), splitting routes into chunks, lazy-loading off-screen components, and removing unused dependencies. Fundamentally different from minification: minifying reduces byte count, this reduces what's downloaded at all.
