Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
4,488 HTML elements
The page has 4,488 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.1 s
A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Hotjar, Klaviyo and Clarity and others), adding 954 KiB and 825 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 354 KiB8 images could be 354 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 484 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Hotjar adds 460 ms
460 msHotjar costs a phone 460 ms of main-thread work and 67 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
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
254 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (254 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
252 KiBAbout 252 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Klaviyo adds 128 ms
128 msKlaviyo costs a phone 128 ms of main-thread work and 321 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 51 ms
51 msShopify costs a phone 51 ms of main-thread work and 354 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
18 KiBAbout 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
