Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 912 KiBAbout 912 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 278 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (278 KiB).
Improve image delivery
1.3 s · 552 KiB16 images could be 552 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 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, Shopify and b-cdn.net and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 131 KiBAbout 131 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Google Tag Manager adds 576 ms
576 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 576 ms of main-thread work and 654 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.
Shopify adds 268 ms
268 msShopify costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 550 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.
2,957 HTML elements
The page has 2,957 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 279 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
tidio.co adds 101 ms
101 mstidio.co costs a phone 101 ms of main-thread work and 515 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
150 ms · 15 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 15 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 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 JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.9 MB in 249 requests
5.9 MBYour homepage downloads 5.9 MB in 249 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (37), scripts 1.9 MB (72) and other files 990 KiB (110). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Breathe_Roll_On_Botanical.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image in older formats
1 image (106 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.67 g of CO₂e: 200.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (12 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Hidden but focusable
2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
16 images without alt text
16 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
292 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 292 pages on kuumbamade.com and 11 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
