Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 190 KiB12 images could be 190 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 37 KiBAbout 37 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.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and Google Fonts and others), adding 468 KiB and 111 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 8 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).
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.

Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 333 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 5 ms
5 msYour server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.5 s
8.5 sYour largest element takes 8.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 8.5 s
8.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.5 s
5.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s
2.5 sThe first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.5 MB in 194 requests
2.5 MBYour homepage downloads 2.5 MB in 194 requests on a phone: images 924 KiB (30), other files 902 KiB (84) and scripts 424 KiB (60). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Mutoh_Mobile_Slider.jpg 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).
1 image far larger than shown
55 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Screenshot_2025-04-01_at_4.34.05_PM.png at 2,596 px wide, shown at 370 px. Resized copies would save about 55 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (31 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.71 g of CO₂e: 85.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes

8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (21 elements)

Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 links without text

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (6 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 11 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
