Speed
Mobile performance score: 80
80/100Your mobile performance score is 80. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 147 KiBAbout 147 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 47 KiBAbout 47 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.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 966 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,202 HTML elements
The page has 2,202 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 (preordernowapp.com, Shopify and YouTube and others), adding 400 KiB and 454 ms of main-thread time.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiB25 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
19 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19 KiB).
Improve image delivery
14 KiB1 image could be 14 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 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: 2.6 MB in 250 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 250 requests on a phone: images 1,003 KiB (61), other files 862 KiB (119) and scripts 488 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Screenshot_2026-11-11_at_8.14.30_AM_a27b687a-11fe-4dc9-a078- is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.75 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.75 g of CO₂e: 89.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
