Speed
4,745 HTML elements
The page has 4,745 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 (Shopify, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 10.9 MB and 461 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 213 ms
213 msShopify costs a phone 213 ms of main-thread work and 10.5 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: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 15 KiBAbout 15 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
180 ms · 174 KiBAbout 174 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 180 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
180 ms · 47 KiB47 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
165 KiB5 images could be 165 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 85 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
61 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (61 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
6 KiB6 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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: 13.1 MB in 317 requests
13.1 MBYour homepage downloads 13.1 MB in 317 requests on a phone: media 10.0 MB (2), other files 1.0 MB (142) and scripts 982 KiB (121). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
KL-BANNER-BOLSOS-MB-1200X2070_76d3c13a-9986-461e-b871-29306e 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).
1 image in older formats
1 image (42 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (67 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.7 g of CO₂ per visit
3.71 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.71 g of CO₂e: 445.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
12 buttons without a name
12 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
24 links without text
24 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 49 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
