From the audit of their public home page on 21/10/2026, worst first. Each links to what it means and how it is fixed.

• high
  Content wider than viewport on mobile

  Horizontal scrolling on mobile is one of the most common mobile usability failures flagged by Google's Mobile-Friendly Test and Google Search Console.

• medium
  Images missing width and height attributes

  Missing image dimensions are the leading cause of Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), a Core Web Vital and ranking factor.

• medium
  Link has empty anchor text

  Anchor text is one of the strongest signals search engines use to understand the content of the linked page.

• medium
  Scripts without async or defer

  Synchronous scripts halt HTML parsing while the browser downloads and executes them.

• medium
  Thin content (too few words)

  Google's Helpful Content system explicitly targets thin, low-value pages.

• low
  Below-the-fold images not lazy loaded

  Loading all images immediately increases initial page weight and competes with critical resources for bandwidth.

• low
  CSS files are not minified

  Unminified CSS files are larger than necessary, increasing download time and delaying rendering.

• low
  Excessive DOM nesting depth

  Deeply nested DOM trees increase the complexity of CSS selector matching and layout calculations.

• low
  Excessive inline CSS

  Inline CSS cannot be cached separately by the browser, so it is re-downloaded with every page load.

• low
  Excessive inline JavaScript

  Inline JavaScript cannot be cached by the browser and must be parsed and executed every time the page loads.

• low
  Image has empty alt attribute

  If a content-relevant image has an empty alt attribute, search engines cannot understand what the image depicts, and it will not appear in image search results.

• low
  Images missing responsive srcset

  Without srcset, a 1200px wide image is downloaded on a 375px wide mobile screen, wasting bandwidth and slowing load times.
