Speed
Mobile performance score: 18
18/100Your mobile performance score is 18. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.4 s
A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 1.5 MBAbout 1.5 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, route.com and Yotpo and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 957 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (957 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 564 ms
564 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 564 ms of main-thread work and 487 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.
Render-blocking requests
550 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
route.com adds 456 ms
456 msroute.com costs a phone 456 ms of main-thread work and 542 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.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 471 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Yotpo adds 385 ms
385 msYotpo costs a phone 385 ms of main-thread work and 431 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 271 ms
271 msKlaviyo costs a phone 271 ms of main-thread work and 422 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.
1,981 HTML elements
The page has 1,981 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 102 KiBAbout 102 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
157 KiB157 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
82 KiB6 images could be 82 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 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.
