Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.3 s · 456 KiBAbout 456 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
950 ms · 213 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (213 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. 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, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 1.7 MB and 531 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 182 ms
182 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 182 ms of main-thread work and 314 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 104 ms
104 msShopify costs a phone 104 ms of main-thread work and 677 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.
1,709 HTML elements
The page has 1,709 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 114 ms
114 msKlaviyo costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 313 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.
Reduce unused CSS
190 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 190 ms faster on a phone.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 126 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
85 KiB4 images could be 85 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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: 3.7 MB in 476 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 476 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (162), other files 1.4 MB (268) and images 382 KiB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats

4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (131 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 124.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
3 tap targets too small

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

48 automated accessibility rules passed
