Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 306 KiBAbout 306 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 336 KiB9 images could be 336 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 134 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (134 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 108 KiBAbout 108 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 520 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,747 HTML elements
The page has 2,747 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, cloudfront.net and Shopify and others), adding 611 KiB and 284 ms of main-thread time.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
100 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
