Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
3.0 s · 611 KiBAbout 611 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 6.1 s
A phone's processor spends 6.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (alia-prod.com, Shopify and loox.io and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 264 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (264 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
350 ms · 55 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 55 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 72 KiBAbout 72 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
Shopify adds 200 ms
200 msShopify costs a phone 200 ms of main-thread work and 752 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.
2,506 HTML elements
The page has 2,506 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
cloudfront.net adds 150 ms
150 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 150 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 169 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
21 KiB2 images could be 21 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.

First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 375 ms

Images and page weight
Page weight: 10.0 MB in 383 requests
10.0 MBYour homepage downloads 10.0 MB in 383 requests on a phone: media 6.0 MB (1), scripts 1.8 MB (171) and other files 916 KiB (149). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (50 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 2.8 g of CO₂ per visit
2.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.82 g of CO₂e: 338.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
17 links without text
17 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed

All 140 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
57 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 57 passed and 1 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
