Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.1 s · 615 KiBAbout 615 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.2 s · 445 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (445 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, PayPal and Shopify and others), adding 1.8 MB and 698 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 236 KiB8 images could be 236 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 73 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 73 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Duplicated JavaScript
300 ms · 56 KiB56 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,963 HTML elements
The page has 2,963 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
PayPal adds 151 ms
151 msPayPal costs a phone 151 ms of main-thread work and 392 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.
Shopify adds 117 ms
117 msShopify costs a phone 117 ms of main-thread work and 658 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.
Klaviyo adds 93 ms
93 msKlaviyo costs a phone 93 ms of main-thread work and 310 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 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.8 MB in 375 requests
3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 375 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (111), other files 1.0 MB (172) and images 685 KiB (51). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
lifestyle-chain-link-fence_abe2424d-21ef-489e-be3d-bd87d9830 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).
4 images in older formats
4 images (167 KiB) are 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 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 130.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
9 links without text
9 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 93 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
