The lack of polyfills is VERY concerning. Your site probably doesn't work on 10% of browsers. And getting from 90-99% is an excercise in futility.
If you used a popular UI framework and transpilation you could easily write a super modern site that works on practically everything back to IE6. And with Vue or React the whole thing could be a few hundred KB, probably smaller than some of your images.
If I was brought in to work on your site, I would immediately rewrite it if it's more than a few pages. Plain HTML with PHP becomes an unmaintainable rats nest if you try to do anything complicated.
