Speed
3,471 HTML elements
The page has 3,471 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 4.9 MB40 images could be 4.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. 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, Mapbox and Google CDN and others), adding 1.3 MB and 523 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Shopify adds 250 ms
250 msShopify costs a phone 250 ms of main-thread work and 697 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.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mapbox adds 239 ms
239 msMapbox costs a phone 239 ms of main-thread work and 403 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
276 KiBAbout 276 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 91 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
40 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (40 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
6 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 6 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

8.9 MBYour homepage downloads 8.9 MB in 267 requests on a phone: images 6.7 MB (67), other files 1.0 MB (76) and scripts 814 KiB (107). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility

2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

SEO
