Speed
Main-thread work: 5.5 s
A phone's processor spends 5.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 771 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (771 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and ContentSquare and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
404 KiB7 images could be 404 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 343 ms
343 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 343 ms of main-thread work and 518 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 258 ms
258 msShopify costs a phone 258 ms of main-thread work and 553 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.
2,846 HTML elements
The page has 2,846 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 273 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
dripappsserver.com adds 169 ms
169 msdripappsserver.com costs a phone 169 ms of main-thread work and 339 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.

Minify JavaScript
49 KiB49 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 363 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 363 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (163), other files 833 KiB (132) and images 465 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images in older formats
6 images (792 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.
4 images far larger than shown
236 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example hp-hero_tee.webp at 500 px wide, shown at 146 px. Resized copies would save about 236 KiB.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 144.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
