One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 219 KiBAbout 219 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
1,869 HTML elements
The page has 1,869 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 114 ms
114 msShopify costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 493 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (ContentSquare, Shopify and Hotjar and others), adding 806 KiB and 374 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 30 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 56 KiBAbout 56 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.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 6 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 56 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
28 KiB3 images could be 28 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

0.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.82 g of CO₂e: 98.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
