electrictrike.com website review

About 393 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 935 KiB and 628 ms of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 418 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.

About 32 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.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 326 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 62 ms of main-thread work and 376 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 images could be 173 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22 KiB).

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Your largest element takes 11.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Electric 24″ Traditional upright electric tricycle with rea…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 11.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 426 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 175 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (68), other files 640 KiB (70) and images 588 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
