Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.6 s · 1.8 MBAbout 1.8 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.6 s faster on a phone.
Avoid multiple page redirects
4.1 sThe page goes through 2 redirects before it starts loading, costing about 4.1 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.
Main-thread work: 11.2 s
A phone's processor spends 11.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,302 HTML elements
The page has 3,302 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, Clarity and Google CDN and others), adding 21.3 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 2.4 MB9 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 207 ms
207 msShopify costs a phone 207 ms of main-thread work and 18.3 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 707 ms
707 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 707 ms of main-thread work and 1,017 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
150 ms · 379 KiB40 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (379 KiB).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 345 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Google CDN adds 261 ms
261 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 766 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.
Clarity adds 273 ms
273 msClarity costs a phone 273 ms of main-thread work and 55 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.
Klaviyo adds 239 ms
239 msKlaviyo costs a phone 239 ms of main-thread work and 398 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.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
135 KiBAbout 135 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify CSS
120 ms · 2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Document request latency
100 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 100 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Legacy JavaScript
53 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
10 ms · 11 KiB11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
14 KiB14 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.
