Render-blocking requests
1.3 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Main-thread work: 7.7 s
A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. 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, gotolstoy.com and Shopify and others), adding 1.4 MB and 764 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 534 KiBAbout 534 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 263 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (263 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 49 KiBAbout 49 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
2,439 HTML elements
The page has 2,439 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 94 ms
94 msShopify costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 525 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 161 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Improve image delivery
46 KiB3 images could be 46 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
41 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 41 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
