Speed
3,786 HTML elements
The page has 3,786 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
600 ms · 966 KiBAbout 966 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and Hotjar and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 57). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Google CDN adds 444 ms
444 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 444 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Shopify adds 286 ms
286 msShopify costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 356 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.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 237 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 63 KiBAbout 63 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 38 KiB2 images could be 38 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
29 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
16 KiB16 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.

An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
LVsummerprints_m.jpg 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).
1 image below the first screen load straight away
