Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
6.2 s · 1.0 MBAbout 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.4 s · 568 KiB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (568 KiB).
Main-thread work: 4.7 s
A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,443 HTML elements
The page has 4,443 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and Affirm and others), adding 3.0 MB and 932 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
Shopify adds 272 ms
272 msShopify costs a phone 272 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 184 ms
184 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 184 ms of main-thread work and 397 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.
Google CDN adds 89 ms
89 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 89 ms of main-thread work and 382 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.
tidio.co adds 63 ms
63 mstidio.co costs a phone 63 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
Legacy JavaScript
200 ms · 20 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 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.
Improve image delivery
181 KiB12 images could be 181 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 161 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Minify JavaScript
18 KiB18 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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Other pages
