Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 845 KiBAbout 845 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.5 s · 674 KiB9 images could be 674 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 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 (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Attentive and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 369 KiB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (369 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 600 ms
600 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 600 ms of main-thread work and 791 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.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 315 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Shopify adds 231 ms
231 msShopify costs a phone 231 ms of main-thread work and 696 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.
Attentive adds 114 ms
114 msAttentive costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 373 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.
rechargecdn.com adds 88 ms
88 msrechargecdn.com costs a phone 88 ms of main-thread work and 297 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.
Legacy JavaScript
250 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
250 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 250 ms).
Render-blocking requests
200 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
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 CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
