atbbq.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Signyfyd adds 1.2 s
1.2 sSignyfyd costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 264 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 44
44/100Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.5 s
A phone's processor spends 9.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,349 HTML elements
The page has 3,349 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 10.6 MB3 images could be 10.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Signyfyd, negate.io and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 3.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
910 KiBAbout 910 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 325 KiB38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (325 KiB).
negate.io adds 642 ms
642 msnegate.io costs a phone 642 ms of main-thread work and 40 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 470 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 382 ms
382 msKlaviyo costs a phone 382 ms of main-thread work and 515 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 231 ms
231 msShopify costs a phone 231 ms of main-thread work and 371 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 195 ms
195 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 195 ms of main-thread work and 305 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
43 KiBAbout 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

Other pages

/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
/policies/shipping-policy and /customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
