Render-blocking requests
1.5 s19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
5,225 HTML elements
The page has 5,225 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 73
73/100Your mobile performance score is 73. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 111 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (111 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (flash-speed.com, Shopify and opinew.com and others), adding 1.1 MB and 32 ms of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 5 ms
5 msShopify costs a phone 5 ms of main-thread work and 745 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 · 16 KiBAbout 16 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.
Improve image delivery
112 KiB5 images could be 112 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 123 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 123 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (46), images 751 KiB (32) and fonts 472 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Ess-Oil-Energising-Christmas-Gift-Box-2025.jpg 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).
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.79 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.79 g of CO₂e: 95.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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.
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 (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

3 pages without a meta description
https://lilyandloaf.com/collections/all, https://lilyandloaf.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://lilyandloaf.com/policies/shipping-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
