Speed
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Yotpo and others), adding 20.2 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 227 ms
227 msShopify costs a phone 227 ms of main-thread work and 18.8 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.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 127 KiB3 images could be 127 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
571 KiBAbout 571 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 420 ms
420 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 420 ms of main-thread work and 533 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
411 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (411 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,501 HTML elements
The page has 2,501 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Yotpo adds 170 ms
170 msYotpo costs a phone 170 ms of main-thread work and 404 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 CSS
150 ms · 59 KiBAbout 59 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.
9 long tasks on the main thread
9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 189 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiB21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 22.6 MB in 349 requests
22.6 MBYour homepage downloads 22.6 MB in 349 requests on a phone: media 18.5 MB (3), scripts 1.9 MB (136) and images 955 KiB (54). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (271 characters)
Your meta description is 271 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
190 internal links, 7 external

Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://www.kalevalashop.com/pages/subscribe-newsletter and https://www.kalevalashop.com/pages/jewelry-sets have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
