Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.5 s · 806 KiBAbout 806 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.0 s · 332 KiB35 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (332 KiB).
Main-thread work: 11.9 s
A phone's processor spends 11.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 8.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
3,806 HTML elements
The page has 3,806 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 (Shopify, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 3.7 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
750 ms · 814 KiB10 images could be 814 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Shopify adds 633 ms
633 msShopify costs a phone 633 ms of main-thread work and 2.6 MB 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 806 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
500 ms · 53 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 53 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 86 KiBAbout 86 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 233 ms
233 msKlaviyo costs a phone 233 ms of main-thread work and 364 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 160 ms
160 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 160 ms of main-thread work and 413 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.
Minify JavaScript
160 ms · 60 KiB60 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
100 ms · 15 KiB15 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 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).
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.

SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Little Giraffe | Luxury Baby Blankets, Baby Gifts, Home Throws & Robes”.
Meta description is long (316 characters)
Your meta description is 316 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link crawlers can't follow
