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
6.5 s · 1.2 MB2 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 568 KiBAbout 568 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 605 KiB29 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (605 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, pop-convert.com and Mailchimp and others), adding 1.2 MB and 487 ms of main-thread time.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 126 ms
126 msShopify costs a phone 126 ms of main-thread work and 468 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.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 78 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
73 KiBAbout 73 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 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.
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: 4.2 MB in 306 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 306 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (31), scripts 1.4 MB (110) and other files 843 KiB (138). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images over 500 KB
2 images weigh 1.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.19 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.19 g of CO₂e: 142.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

120 internal links, 5 external

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML

llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
/collections/hybrid-mattresses, /collections/memory-foam-mattresses and /collections/foundations have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
