Speed

6 to fix57
  • 3,808 HTML elements

    The page has 3,808 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    950 ms

    19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 305 KiB

    11 images could be 305 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 871 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 36 ms

    36 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 36 ms of main-thread work and 325 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 (Klaviyo, loox.io and Shopify and others), adding 725 KiB and 286 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    140 ms · 64 KiB

    About 64 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    84 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (84 KiB).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    19 KiB

    Polyfills 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

    7.7 s

    Your largest element takes 7.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.312

  • Time to Interactive: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

  • Real-user TTFB: 804 ms

    Real visitors wait 804 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 10 images without width and height

    10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

8 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 155 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 30% faster for real visitors

    -30%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 3.1 MB in 288 requests

    3.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 288 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (45), other files 805 KiB (110) and scripts 678 KiB (95). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (42 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.87 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8289
  • 34 text elements with low contrast

    34 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 15 tap targets too small

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 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.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 26 links without text

    26 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (12 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

1 checks 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: 51 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8593
  • Meta description is long (171 characters)

    Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 538 internal links, 39 external

Other pages

1 to fix75

Content and conversion
