built-different.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Main-thread work: 4.9 s
A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
548 KiBAbout 548 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
474 KiB15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (474 KiB).
Shopify adds 362 ms
362 msShopify costs a phone 362 ms of main-thread work and 999 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.
alia-prod.com adds 413 ms
413 msalia-prod.com costs a phone 413 ms of main-thread work and 450 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 387 ms
387 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 387 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.
2,574 HTML elements
The page has 2,574 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 181 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
70 KiBAbout 70 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
26 KiB1 image could be 26 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Largest Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sYour largest element takes 3.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “SHIRTS BUILT FOR BIG & TALL BODIES”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 187 ms to 167 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 14.0 MB in 535 requests
14.0 MBYour homepage downloads 14.0 MB in 535 requests on a phone: media 7.9 MB (3), scripts 2.1 MB (245) and images 1.6 MB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images far larger than shown
887 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Crew_Neck_White_0633.jpg at 1,950 px wide, shown at 177 px. Resized copies would save about 887 KiB.
About 4.0 g of CO₂ per visit
3.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.97 g of CO₂e: 476.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 images without alt text
4 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
11 links without text
11 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
