Speed
Improve image delivery
1.0 MB11 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, elfsight.com and SocialShopWave and others), adding 1.7 MB and 340 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
480 KiBAbout 480 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 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, 642 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,582 HTML elements
The page has 1,582 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 95 ms
95 msShopify costs a phone 95 ms of main-thread work and 459 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.
elfsightcdn.com adds 0 ms
0 mselfsightcdn.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 884 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
123 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (123 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 97 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
17 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 17 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.

Server response: 28 ms
28 msYour server sent the HTML in 28 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 13.6 s
13.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.2 s
3.2 sYour largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “chadmade”. Most of its time is element render delay (1.9 s).
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
3 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s
1.2 sThe first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 63 ms
63 msScripts block the page for only 63 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 225 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 225 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (35), scripts 923 KiB (55) and other files 881 KiB (122). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
banner-5_397b33ad-f9d4-433e-93a6-f6b99e7072a4.webp 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).
5 images in older formats
5 images (294 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.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 119.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 buttons without a name
3 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
7 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
7 tap targets too small
7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
14 links without text
14 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Positive tabindex
2 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 53 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 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: 48 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
