Speed
Main-thread work: 4.5 s
A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google CDN and Snapchat and others), adding 1.3 MB and 852 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 397 ms
397 msShopify costs a phone 397 ms of main-thread work and 816 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 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
408 KiBAbout 408 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google CDN adds 307 ms
307 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 307 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 308 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,171 HTML elements
The page has 2,171 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
94 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (94 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
27 KiBAbout 27 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
6 KiB1 image could be 6 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 375 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (153), other files 964 KiB (171) and HTML 153 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 216 words
The homepage has only about 216 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
5 checks passed
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Start shopping”, “To apply for a return click here.” and “Contact Us”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Direct contact links

Phone number on the homepage

Risk reducer mentioned

Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
22 cookies set on arrival
22Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
30 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 30 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at esskcustoms.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 7 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Google Youtube · Simprosys Google Shopping Feed · Judge Me Reviews · Inbox · Forms · trafficmanager.net · snapchat.com
