Improve image delivery
1.0 s · 1.0 MB23 images could be 1.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.6 s
A phone's processor spends 8.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 MBAbout 2.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (route.com, Shopify and cpscentral.com and others), adding 2.7 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.3 MB31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
route.com adds 779 ms
779 msroute.com costs a phone 779 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Duplicated JavaScript
486 KiB486 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 423 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 325 ms
325 msShopify costs a phone 325 ms of main-thread work and 574 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.
Minify JavaScript
369 KiB369 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
cpscentral.com adds 270 ms
270 mscpscentral.com costs a phone 270 ms of main-thread work and 262 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 CDN adds 213 ms
213 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 213 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
2,252 HTML elements
The page has 2,252 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
62 KiBAbout 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
33 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 33 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
18 KiB18 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.4 MB in 408 requests
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 408 requests on a phone: scripts 3.3 MB (123), images 1.5 MB (43) and other files 907 KiB (176). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats

1 image below the first screen load straight away

About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.82 g of CO₂e: 217.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
13 text elements with low contrast

Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
