Speed
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 1.5 MB27 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 357 KiBAbout 357 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 215 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (215 KiB).
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 597 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,765 HTML elements
The page has 1,765 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 39 ms
39 msShopify costs a phone 39 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hubspot and Shopify and others), adding 635 KiB and 283 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 25 KiBAbout 25 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 159 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 7 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 9.2 s
9.2 sYour largest element takes 9.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 11.8 s
11.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 56% slower for real visitors
+56%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 78 ms to 122 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Speed Index: 3.7 s
3.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.

Total Blocking Time: 80 ms
80 msScripts block the page for only 80 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.9 MB in 172 requests
3.9 MBYour homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 172 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (39), scripts 833 KiB (50) and other files 633 KiB (72). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
3Social.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 below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 131.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
109 links without text
109 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 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)

47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “ELEVATE YOUR EVERYDAY.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (176 characters)
Your meta description is 176 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

Other pages
15 pages without a meta description

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
