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
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 444 KiB12 images could be 444 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.0 s16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 217 KiBAbout 217 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 60 KiBAbout 60 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (shgcdn2.com, Shopify and shgcdn3.com and others), adding 509 KiB and 287 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 43 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (43 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 71 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify JavaScript
19 KiB19 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.5 s
A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 646 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals

Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.21
0.21For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.21 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.248
0.248The layout shifts by 0.248 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
5 images without width and height

Total Blocking Time: 30 ms
30 msScripts block the page for only 30 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 167 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 167 requests on a phone: images 876 KiB (18), scripts 783 KiB (55) and other files 673 KiB (72). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
FT47026_-_USA_-Banner-03_mobile_1_1000x.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 89.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 35 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
17 form fields without a label
17 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (9 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 42 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 4 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
