Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 184 KiBAbout 184 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
50 ms · 855 KiB19 images could be 855 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Shopify adds 455 ms
455 msShopify costs a phone 455 ms of main-thread work and 597 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.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,816 HTML elements
The page has 1,816 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, ip-api.com and myshopify.com), adding 632 KiB and 455 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 42 KiBAbout 42 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.
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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1 KiB).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 212 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 212 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (44), other files 793 KiB (101) and scripts 626 KiB (59). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.06 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.06 g of CO₂e: 127.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Hidden but focusable
26 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
23 tap targets too small
23 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn'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 (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
1 checks passed
49 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: 49 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No analytics detected

No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
