Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.9 s · 655 KiBAbout 655 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.5 s · 184 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (184 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. 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 (Intercom, Shopify and pop-convert.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 460 ms of main-thread time.
2,465 HTML elements
The page has 2,465 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 804 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 93 ms
93 msShopify costs a phone 93 ms of main-thread work and 495 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 20 KiBAbout 20 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 82 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.

4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 229 requests on a phone: other files 2.9 MB (120), scripts 1.3 MB (71) and fonts 103 KiB (4). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.28 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.28 g of CO₂e: 154.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
