Render-blocking requests
1.6 s14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Facebook and Unpkg and others), adding 14.7 MB and 483 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 275 ms
275 msShopify costs a phone 275 ms of main-thread work and 14.5 MB 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.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
285 KiBAbout 285 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
2,839 HTML elements
The page has 2,839 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
218 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (218 KiB).
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 157 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
109 KiB7 images could be 109 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 6.9 s
6.9 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s
4.2 sYour largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “FREE ALTERATION SERVICE WITH EVERY ORDER”.
Time to Interactive: 7.7 s
7.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest content (LCP) got 31% slower for real visitors
+31%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 162 ms to 188 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Total Blocking Time: 198 ms

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 16.5 MB in 201 requests
16.5 MBYour homepage downloads 16.5 MB in 201 requests on a phone: media 14.0 MB (2), scripts 943 KiB (67) and other files 658 KiB (74). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
7FC1C3EA-8BA7-4787-803E-5BC3CB8B86FA_185x.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image far larger than shown
42 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example store-wide-promotion.jpg at 1,254 px wide, shown at 351 px. Resized copies would save about 42 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (142 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 4.7 g of CO₂ per visit
4.69 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.69 g of CO₂e: 562.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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 (h1 → h3 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 36 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
54 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 54 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No direct contact details
