Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.9 s · 786 KiBAbout 786 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.4 s · 437 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (437 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 3.7 s
A phone's processor spends 3.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 257 ms
257 msShopify costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 641 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 200 ms
200 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 200 ms of main-thread work and 494 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.
azurefd.net adds 54 ms
54 msazurefd.net costs a phone 54 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 110 KiB8 images could be 110 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 68 KiBAbout 68 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 146 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 360 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 360 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (81), other files 1.3 MB (230) and images 197 KiB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (48 KiB) is 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.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 125.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

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.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
