Speed
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
420 ms · 325 KiBAbout 325 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 420 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.9 s
A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 817 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
254 KiB13 images could be 254 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2,455 HTML elements
The page has 2,455 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 78 ms
78 msShopify costs a phone 78 ms of main-thread work and 671 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, Shopify and shgcdn3.com and others), adding 736 KiB and 189 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
120 ms · 22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 69 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
41 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (41 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 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.
