Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.4 MB and 452 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 272 KiBAbout 272 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,659 HTML elements
The page has 2,659 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 139 ms
139 msShopify costs a phone 139 ms of main-thread work and 937 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.
Google CDN adds 176 ms
176 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 176 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 49 KiB5 images could be 49 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 47 KiBAbout 47 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 154 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
64 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (64 KiB).
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 JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 371 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 371 requests on a phone: other files 1.9 MB (159), scripts 1.1 MB (151) and images 939 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Alscoind-Slideshow-Mobile2-2.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
1 image further down the page (22 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.24 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.24 g of CO₂e: 149.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
