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: 47
47/100Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 79). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.3 s
A phone's processor spends 5.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and alia-prod.com and others), adding 2.1 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 673 KiB13 images could be 673 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
542 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (542 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 103 KiBAbout 103 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 384 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google Tag Manager adds 350 ms
350 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 350 ms of main-thread work and 344 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
2,651 HTML elements
The page has 2,651 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 201 ms
201 msKlaviyo costs a phone 201 ms of main-thread work and 509 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.
Shopify adds 156 ms
156 msShopify costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
cloudfront.net adds 116 ms
116 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 457 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
70 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 70 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 79 but mobile only 47. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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: 5.9 MB in 391 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 391 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (157), images 1.7 MB (28) and other files 1,015 KiB (175). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
11 images in older formats
11 images (849 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.
4 images far larger than shown
82 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example appaman-girls-kids-dress-schoolyard-lightblue-lifestyle-mobi at 584 px wide, shown at 171 px. Resized copies would save about 82 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (197 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.66 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.66 g of CO₂e: 199.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
