Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.9 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.9 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.5 s · 769 KiB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (769 KiB).
Main-thread work: 4.3 s
A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 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, Freshchat and Klaviyo and others), adding 2.8 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
250 ms · 630 KiB16 images could be 630 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 396 ms
396 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 396 ms of main-thread work and 824 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.
Freshchat adds 280 ms
280 msFreshchat costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 828 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 152 ms
152 msKlaviyo costs a phone 152 ms of main-thread work and 406 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.
1,769 HTML elements
The page has 1,769 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Yotpo adds 134 ms
134 msYotpo costs a phone 134 ms of main-thread work and 303 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 · 51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 124 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
45 KiBAbout 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Minify JavaScript
16 KiB16 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.

1.70 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.70 g of CO₂e: 203.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed

No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 55 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 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
