Speed
Improve image delivery
1.0 s · 562 KiB6 images could be 562 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 8.9 s
A phone's processor spends 8.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5,298 HTML elements
The page has 5,298 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 63
63/100Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and starapps.studio and others), adding 1.4 MB and 744 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
450 ms · 285 KiBAbout 285 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 395 ms
395 msShopify costs a phone 395 ms of main-thread work and 692 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.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Klaviyo adds 244 ms
244 msKlaviyo costs a phone 244 ms of main-thread work and 514 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
140 ms · 58 KiBAbout 58 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 163 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
56 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (56 KiB).
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
35 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
9 KiB9 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1.09 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.09 g of CO₂e: 130.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
