Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.8 s20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Main-thread work: 7.0 s
A phone's processor spends 7.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Clarity and Cloudflare CDN), adding 453 KiB and 585 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 424 ms
424 msShopify costs a phone 424 ms of main-thread work and 413 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 JavaScript
150 ms · 280 KiBAbout 280 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2,442 HTML elements
The page has 2,442 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 172 KiB9 images could be 172 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 40 KiBAbout 40 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 144 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
12 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (12 KiB).
Duplicated JavaScript
9 KiB9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
01pastas.webp weighs 781 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 291 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 291 requests on a phone: images 966 KiB (31), other files 955 KiB (158) and scripts 624 KiB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
01hot-beverages.webp 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).
3 images in older formats
3 images (930 KiB) are 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 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 95.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
10 images without alt text
10 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
