Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 6.8 s
A phone's processor spends 6.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,665 HTML elements
The page has 3,665 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 1,018 KiBAbout 1,018 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.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 758 ms
758 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 758 ms of main-thread work and 686 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
300 ms · 133 KiB7 images could be 133 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 330 ms
330 msShopify costs a phone 330 ms of main-thread work and 381 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.
LiveChat adds 133 ms
133 msLiveChat costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 364 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 243 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 63 KiBAbout 63 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
45 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (45 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
20 KiB20 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 238 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (100), other files 710 KiB (95) and images 560 KiB (27). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.98 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.98 g of CO₂e: 117.8 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
375 tap targets too small
375 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
213 text elements with low contrast
213 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
