Speed
Mobile performance score: 72
72/100Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
850 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 850 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 120 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (120 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (videowise.com, Google Fonts and Shopify and others), adding 2.1 MB and 2 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 0 ms
0 msShopify costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 2.0 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.
1,965 HTML elements
The page has 1,965 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 44 KiBAbout 44 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.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 170 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
165 KiB8 images could be 165 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 64 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user CLS: 1.74
1.74For real visitors the layout shifts by 1.74 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.1 s
11.1 sYour largest element takes 11.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Join 3+ million people starting every day happier.”.
Time to Interactive: 11.4 s
11.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user TTFB: 963 ms

Speed Index: 1.8 s
1.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 1.8 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 117 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 117 requests on a phone: images 3.3 MB (55), scripts 444 KiB (44) and fonts 408 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
M-FMJ-2_4f566cc7-5f05-4eb2-a84f-be178ec43575.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).
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.21 g of CO₂e: 144.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Required ARIA attributes must be provided (4 elements)
Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Unlabelled dropdowns
2 dropdowns have no label.
32 tap targets too small
32 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
59 images without alt text
59 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 838 words of copy

Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
5 checks passed
