Speed
Avoid multiple page redirects
12.2 sThe page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 12.2 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
Reduce unused JavaScript
10.3 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 29
29/100Your mobile performance score is 29. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.4 s
A phone's processor spends 9.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,324 HTML elements
The page has 4,324 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Google CDN and others), adding 1.5 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 808 ms
808 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 808 ms of main-thread work and 687 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.
Shopify adds 727 ms
727 msShopify costs a phone 727 ms of main-thread work and 376 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 518 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 58 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (58 KiB).
Google CDN adds 267 ms
267 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 267 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.
Improve image delivery
261 KiB9 images could be 261 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
