One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 439 KiBAbout 439 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
700 ms · 165 KiB11 images could be 165 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 700 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 48 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (48 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
350 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
240 ms · 43 KiBAbout 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 240 ms faster on a phone.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Twitter, Shopify and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 346 KiB and 160 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 98 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 390 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: 8.9 s
8.9 sYour largest element takes 8.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Welcome to Cost Plus Liquor Stores When you step into a Cos…”.
Time to Interactive: 9.0 s
9.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.4 s
6.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 36% slower for real visitors
+36%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 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: 48 ms
48 msScripts block the page for only 48 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 125 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 125 requests on a phone: scripts 654 KiB (35), other files 617 KiB (64) and images 551 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.5 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.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
4 links with vague text

Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://cplstores.com/collections/all, https://cplstores.com/collections and https://cplstores.com/collections/collections/products/rum-jumbie-liqueur-750ml have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
