Speed
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 211 KiB4 images could be 211 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
557 KiBAbout 557 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, nfcube.com and myshopify.com and others), adding 1.2 MB and 234 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 218 ms
218 msShopify costs a phone 218 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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: 2.1 s
A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 646 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,034 HTML elements
The page has 2,034 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 80 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
37 KiBAbout 37 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
11 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 5.7 s
5.7 sYour largest element takes 5.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Bigger kids cups”.
Time to Interactive: 9.7 s
9.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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: 37 ms
37 msScripts block the page for only 37 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.9 MB in 330 requests
2.9 MBYour homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 330 requests on a phone: other files 1.1 MB (154), scripts 953 KiB (105) and images 560 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
28820704-EFBB-4065-89D6-F927864D4A07_0bb19074-6dc4-4b28-967d 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.83 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.83 g of CO₂e: 99.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (9 characters)
Your title is only 9 characters: “Chai Baby”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No analytics detected

No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No risk reducer
