4,013 HTML elements
The page has 4,013 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
personalizer.io adds 77 ms
77 mspersonalizer.io costs a phone 77 ms of main-thread work and 297 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
150 ms · 26 KiBAbout 26 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (personalizer.io and Shopify), adding 412 KiB and 77 ms of main-thread time.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 110 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
93 KiB12 images could be 93 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
41 KiBAbout 41 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3 KiB).
