Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 663 KiBAbout 663 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.1 s
A phone's processor spends 8.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Google Tag Manager and rebuyengine.com and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 362 KiB11 images could be 362 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
Klaviyo adds 600 ms
600 msKlaviyo costs a phone 600 ms of main-thread work and 613 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 Tag Manager adds 576 ms
576 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 576 ms of main-thread work and 501 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 450 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
rebuyengine.com adds 308 ms
308 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 308 ms of main-thread work and 457 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 12 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12 KiB).
Shopify adds 129 ms
129 msShopify costs a phone 129 ms of main-thread work and 1,003 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 68 KiBAbout 68 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 48 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 48 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 6 KiB6 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.

3.8 MBYour homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 229 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (102), images 1.1 MB (24) and other files 610 KiB (68). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
