Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.7 s · 644 KiBAbout 644 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.0 s · 224 KiB5 images could be 224 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.0 s
A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Intercom and Hotjar and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 200 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (200 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
500 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.
Shopify adds 336 ms
336 msShopify costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 871 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.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 231 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
130 ms · 62 KiBAbout 62 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiB25 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
8 KiB8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Server response: 12 ms

360 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 360 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
3 images without width and height

Tap response (INP) got 13% slower for real visitors
+13%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 118 ms to 134 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 304 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 304 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (104), other files 1.0 MB (149) and images 877 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
62 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Homepage_reviews.jpg at 1,080 px wide, shown at 306 px. Resized copies would save about 62 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (243 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.16 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.16 g of CO₂e: 138.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (3 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
