Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. 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 (Shopify, cloudfront.net and Clarity and others), adding 1.4 MB and 699 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
429 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (429 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
401 KiBAbout 401 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 87 KiBAbout 87 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 282 ms
282 msShopify costs a phone 282 ms of main-thread work and 828 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.
2,200 HTML elements
The page has 2,200 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
cloudfront.net adds 138 ms
138 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 138 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 166 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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: 3.8 MB in 345 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 345 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (135), images 1.1 MB (57) and other files 978 KiB (109). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (269 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (21 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.08 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 129.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed

No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
