Speed
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
1,622 HTML elements
The page has 1,622 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 (alia-prod.com, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 599 KiB and 260 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
200 KiBAbout 200 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
185 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (185 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 107 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).
Legacy JavaScript
29 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
18 KiBAbout 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Improve image delivery
9 KiB1 image could be 9 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.
