Speed
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,587 HTML elements
The page has 3,587 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. 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 (Shopify, posthog.com and gemcommerce.com and others), adding 2.2 MB and 722 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Shopify adds 463 ms
463 msShopify costs a phone 463 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
220 KiBAbout 220 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 48 KiBAbout 48 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
142 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (142 KiB).
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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 JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.4 MB in 346 requests
3.4 MBYour homepage downloads 3.4 MB in 346 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (57), other files 1,011 KiB (140) and scripts 888 KiB (124). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
39 images below the first screen load straight away
39 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
21 images in older formats
21 images (987 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.97 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.97 g of CO₂e: 115.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
57 images without alt text
57 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
18 links without text
18 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
