Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.3 s · 501 KiBAbout 501 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 191 KiB10 images could be 191 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and hikeorders.com and others), adding 1.3 MB and 496 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 262 ms
262 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 262 ms of main-thread work and 521 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 118 ms
118 msShopify costs a phone 118 ms of main-thread work and 483 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 39 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (39 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. 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 140 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
10 KiBAbout 10 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.

Main-thread work: 1.9 s
A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 735 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 9 ms
9 msYour server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.6 s
14.6 sYour largest element takes 14.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 14.7 s
14.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.2 s
7.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s
3.4 sThe first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.

Total Blocking Time: 172 ms
172 msScripts block the page for only 172 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 294 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 294 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (90), other files 872 KiB (136) and images 477 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
BestMed.png 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).
1 image far larger than shown
15 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example BestMed.png at 800 px wide, shown at 249 px. Resized copies would save about 15 KiB.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 101.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
