Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (hsappstatic.net, Google CDN and Hotjar and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 408 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (408 KiB).
hsappstatic.net adds 498 ms
498 mshsappstatic.net costs a phone 498 ms of main-thread work and 716 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: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google CDN adds 225 ms
225 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 225 ms of main-thread work and 767 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.
1,989 HTML elements
The page has 1,989 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 69 ms
69 msShopify costs a phone 69 ms of main-thread work and 649 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 247 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 94 KiB3 images could be 94 KiB 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 36 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 36 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
71 KiBAbout 71 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Other pages
2 pages share a title
