Render-blocking requests
1.8 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
760 ms · 168 KiBAbout 168 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 760 ms faster on a phone.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, FullStory and shrinetheme.com and others), adding 4.4 MB and 447 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 83 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (83 KiB).
Google Fonts adds 1 ms
1 msGoogle Fonts costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 3.8 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 233 ms
233 msKlaviyo costs a phone 233 ms of main-thread work and 306 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 18 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 18 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 53 KiB3 images could be 53 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 120 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 28.2 s
28.2 sYour largest element takes 28.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 28.3 s
28.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 28.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.6 s
6.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 218 ms
218 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 218 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 169 requests
5.6 MBYour homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 169 requests on a phone: fonts 3.9 MB (9), scripts 693 KiB (66) and other files 689 KiB (68). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Alkaline_Healing_System_Full.webp 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).
6 images in older formats
6 images (516 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.60 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.60 g of CO₂e: 191.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

56 automated accessibility rules passed

Other pages

3 pages without a meta description
/pages/contact, /customer_authentication/redirect and /collections/all have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
/pages/contact and /customer_authentication/redirect have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
