Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.5 s · 881 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (881 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.4 s · 894 KiBAbout 894 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (route.com, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 357 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
route.com adds 299 ms
299 msroute.com costs a phone 299 ms of main-thread work and 542 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: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 263 ms
263 msShopify costs a phone 263 ms of main-thread work and 398 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.
2,850 HTML elements
The page has 2,850 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 222 ms
222 msKlaviyo costs a phone 222 ms of main-thread work and 510 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 79 KiBAbout 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
113 KiB6 images could be 113 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Render-blocking requests
100 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 100 ms.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
