Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.2 s · 798 KiBAbout 798 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.9 s · 735 KiB27 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (735 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.5 MB and 959 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 51
51/100Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 430 KiB5 images could be 430 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 311 ms
311 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 311 ms of main-thread work and 499 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.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 49 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
1,589 HTML elements
The page has 1,589 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Klaviyo adds 125 ms
125 msKlaviyo costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
11 KiBAbout 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
