A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,924 HTML elements
The page has 4,924 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, shopassistant-ai.com and Shopify and others), adding 10.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 939 KiB26 images could be 939 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
videowise.com adds 116 ms
116 msvideowise.com costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 7.4 MB 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 JavaScript

Reduce unused CSS

Shopify adds 177 ms

Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Accessibility
13 text elements with low contrast
13 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
10 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 button without a name

All page content should be contained by landmarks (55 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 55 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

SEO
Title is long (76 characters)
Your title is 76 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Blue Bungalow AU | Women's Online Clothing Boutique Store - Blue Bungalow AU”.
2 links with vague text

One H1 headline
