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
Main-thread work: 9.1 s
A phone's processor spends 9.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7,612 HTML elements
The page has 7,612 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 Yotpo and others), adding 2.8 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Shopify adds 603 ms
603 msShopify costs a phone 603 ms of main-thread work and 939 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
150 ms · 544 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (544 KiB).
Google Tag Manager adds 631 ms
631 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 631 ms of main-thread work and 550 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.
Yotpo adds 572 ms
572 msYotpo costs a phone 572 ms of main-thread work and 811 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 358 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
320 KiB15 images could be 320 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google CDN adds 220 ms
220 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 298 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 · 87 KiBAbout 87 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.
Minify JavaScript
58 KiB58 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
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.

Your title is 78 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Grimfrost International Webshop - World’s Largest Viking Shop – Grimfrost Intl”.
