Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Main-thread work: 9.6 s
A phone's processor spends 9.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,609 HTML elements
The page has 4,609 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 50
50/100Your mobile performance score is 50. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
901 KiBAbout 901 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 502 ms
502 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 502 ms of main-thread work and 776 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 367 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 48 KiBAbout 48 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.
Shopify adds 241 ms
241 msShopify costs a phone 241 ms of main-thread work and 470 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
55 KiB17 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (55 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
13 KiB1 image could be 13 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

6.2 MBYour homepage downloads 6.2 MB in 411 requests on a phone: images 3.1 MB (77), scripts 1.7 MB (71) and other files 1.1 MB (234). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
