Speed
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,436 HTML elements
The page has 4,436 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 (Shopify, Google CDN and productessentials.app and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
1.2 MB24 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 58
58/100Your mobile performance score is 58. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 678 ms
678 msShopify costs a phone 678 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
635 KiBAbout 635 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
268 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (268 KiB).
Google CDN adds 237 ms
237 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 237 ms of main-thread work and 298 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 236 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 70 KiBAbout 70 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
21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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 JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 481 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (36), scripts 1.7 MB (235) and other files 1.1 MB (169). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
7 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles

All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 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
