Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 1.1 MB18 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
3,157 HTML elements
The page has 3,157 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, Google Maps and Yotpo and others), adding 23.9 MB and 562 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 57 ms
57 msShopify costs a phone 57 ms of main-thread work and 22.7 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: 69
69/100Your mobile performance score is 69. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 683 KiBAbout 683 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 455 KiB25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (455 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.1 s
A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 197 ms
197 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 360 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.
Google Maps adds 97 ms
97 msGoogle Maps costs a phone 97 ms of main-thread work and 395 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 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.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details

Privacy and tracking
11 trackers load before any consent
11Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 6 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
30 cookies set on arrival
30Opening the homepage sets 30 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
55 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 55 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at kokoblack.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 13 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
