Speed
Main-thread work: 6.9 s
A phone's processor spends 6.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.8 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, Shopify and Optimizely and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
877 KiBAbout 877 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 637 ms
637 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 637 ms of main-thread work and 663 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
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
2,785 HTML elements
The page has 2,785 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
rebuyengine.com adds 215 ms
215 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 215 ms of main-thread work and 468 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.
Klaviyo adds 198 ms
198 msKlaviyo costs a phone 198 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.
userway.org adds 109 ms
109 msuserway.org costs a phone 109 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 211 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 58 KiBAbout 58 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
195 KiB38 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (195 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
87 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 87 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
39 KiB4 images could be 39 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

2.9 sYour largest element takes 2.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.9 MB in 484 requests
4.9 MBYour homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 484 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (127), other files 1.5 MB (277) and images 410 KiB (44). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
7IV04376.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).
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (44 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.38 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.38 g of CO₂e: 165.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
14 text elements with low contrast
14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (11 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (11 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 62 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
226 internal links, 8 external

No llms.txt

No map or directions link
