Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 548 KiBAbout 548 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.4 s
A phone's processor spends 8.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, rebuyengine.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 367 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (367 KiB).
rebuyengine.com adds 313 ms
313 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 313 ms of main-thread work and 745 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 Tag Manager adds 339 ms
339 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 339 ms of main-thread work and 334 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 294 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2,666 HTML elements
The page has 2,666 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 232 ms
232 msKlaviyo costs a phone 232 ms of main-thread work and 329 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.
Improve image delivery
100 ms · 228 KiB4 images could be 228 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 57 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 45 KiBAbout 45 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.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
