Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 282 KiBAbout 282 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 89 ms
89 msShopify costs a phone 89 ms of main-thread work and 641 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.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 183 KiB7 images could be 183 KiB 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.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, addons.business and shop.app and others), adding 651 KiB and 90 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
7 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (7 KiB).
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
