Render-blocking requests
2.0 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.0 s · 325 KiBAbout 325 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 119 KiBAbout 119 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied 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 (Other Google APIs/SDKs, Judge.me and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.1 MB and 83 ms of main-thread time.
1,894 HTML elements
The page has 1,894 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 1 ms
1 msShopify costs a phone 1 ms of main-thread work and 952 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.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 56 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).
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2 KiB).

First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images 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.
2 checks passed

2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 104 requests on a phone: media 780 KiB (1), other files 616 KiB (55) and scripts 606 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.70 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.70 g of CO₂e: 84.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO

Meta description is long (248 characters)
