Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, ZenDesk and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
YouTube adds 351 ms
351 msYouTube costs a phone 351 ms of main-thread work and 987 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 143 KiBAbout 143 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.
Main-thread work: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
ZenDesk adds 264 ms
264 msZenDesk costs a phone 264 ms of main-thread work and 478 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.
1,840 HTML elements
The page has 1,840 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 120 ms
120 msKlaviyo costs a phone 120 ms of main-thread work and 388 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 77 ms
77 msShopify costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 378 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
210 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (210 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
59 KiB3 images could be 59 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 365 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 365 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (146), other files 877 KiB (135) and images 262 KiB (34). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.25 g of CO₂e: 150.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed

No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
48 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: 48 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
