One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. 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 Tag Manager, Bold Commerce and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 760 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
656 KiBAbout 656 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 287 ms
287 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 519 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.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
296 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (296 KiB).
Improve image delivery
256 KiB4 images could be 256 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Bold Commerce adds 156 ms
156 msBold Commerce costs a phone 156 ms of main-thread work and 484 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.
1,886 HTML elements
The page has 1,886 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 101 ms
101 msKlaviyo costs a phone 101 ms of main-thread work and 339 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.8 MB in 508 requests
5.8 MBYour homepage downloads 5.8 MB in 508 requests on a phone: images 2.5 MB (220), scripts 1.9 MB (98) and other files 881 KiB (133). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
67 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example bd8ea75d-cb43-48c4-866f-bfd67c99c2c5.jpeg at 1,964 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 67 KiB.
2 images in older formats
2 images (138 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.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.65 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.65 g of CO₂e: 197.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
24 text elements with low contrast
24 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

53 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: 53 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
/collections/all, /customer_authentication/redirect and /policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
